Has Yahoo stoped downloading your sitemaps?

I just noticed that yahoo hasn't downloaded a sitemap from any of my sites since the 19th of January. Has anyone else noticed this or know why they stoped downloading?

I wonder if we now need to use the google format that they have agreed to adopt.

Still downloading mine

176 19:31 urllist.txt.gz Yahoo 72.30.226.149 Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Yahoo! Slurp; Yahoo! Help -)

As of yesterday

Just checked my football site, and the 19th was the last time that Yahoo downloaded.

Yahoo is still grabbing mine daily on all sites...

Do you guys have your sites set up in Yahoo Site Explorer, and your sitemap added in?

Weird, one of my sites hasnt had a yahoo download since January 1st.

Two other main site have been the 19th. Well, one of them does show the 20th, but it was right at midnight so it depends on your time zone I guess.

yes and yes.

I know they changed the way that the VBSEO SiteMap generator use to notify them of a new sitemap .... (Was reading this in other threads)

Yes It's all set up right. I was getting two downloads a day for each site up untill about the same time on that day. I just had a download a few minutes ago on one site. Maybe they are having troubles. On one site yahoo spiders about 2000 - 4000 pages a day and during that period it droped to 400 - 900.

Well just for fun I manually submitted all my google sitemaps to Yahoo yesterday. Just a few minutes ago on one of my sites they downloaded sitemap_1.xml.gz.

Yahoo showed back up in my sitemap today.

I noticed yahoo is just downloading sitemap_index.xml.gz
