Well, a single fetch seems to be taking almost 3 minutes, and you have configured Smokeping to fetch the page 20 times every 5 minutes. So the Curl probe never gets finished and is killed when the timeout occurs. The solution would be to increase the 'step' parameter and/or decrease the 'pings' parameter. Note that with Smokeping 1.36 you can do this for just the Curl probe while keeping the parameters for the rest of the probes (if you're running any). (It would be nice if the probe could signal back the number of succesful pings when it's killed by the timeout code, but at the moment it doesn't. In your case you would still get constant 95% loss.)
