    No any errors shown. One week ago I temporarily disabled many plugins to fix a server problem, then I re-enabled the sitemap and run again. In first days I though that GWT need time to get it again, but now it's more then a week

    Hello,
    I removed the index sitemap and put the singles sitemaps (sitemap_1.xml.gz, sitemap_2.xml.gz,etc) and now I see status Ok and urls spidered (not all but many of them)

    Go to vbseo_sitemap/data/ and remove all .gz files in this folder then manually re-generate your sitemap.

    I've tried now to download sitemap_1.xml.gz and it's working fine : http://www.gsmlover.com/sitemap_1.xml.gz

    Please try to resubmit this sitemap "sitemap_1.xml.gz not sitemap_index.xml.gz"

    It's possible that your host may be blocking google bot, which is why they are seeing 403's. I would ask your ISP/host if they are.
