urllist.txt.gz download issue?

I noticed that I've never had Yahoo show up in the download log, so I tried to grab it with my browser. It prompts me to open/save, but when I select save it just closes the window and nothing happens...no local file is created. On my other machine, it creates the file locally but it is incomplete and I can't open it (it's about 15k in size).

What should the file permissions be on the files inside the data folder? My dada folder is 777, but the file inside are 644. Should they also be 777? I can open the .xml.gz files fine.

Any ideas?

Yahoo just showed up in the download log. So, nevermind.

Ok I think this is still an issue afterall. If I go to www.theopenjam.com/urllist.txt.gz and try to download, it doesn't get the whole file. I haven't had Yahoo show up in my download log in nearly a month, either.

My root .htaccess is:

Code:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^((urllist|sitemap).*.(xml|txt)(.gz)?)$ /forum/vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]

Order Allow,Deny
Allow from all

My forum .htaccess is:

Code:

# Comment the following line (add '#' at the beginning)
# to disable mod_rewrite functions.
# Please note: you still need to disable the hack in
# the vBSEO control panel to stop url rewrites.
RewriteEngine On
# Some servers require the Rewritebase directive to be
# enabled (remove '#' at the beginning to activate)
# Please note: when enabled, you must include the path
# to your root vBulletin folder (i.e. RewriteBase /forums)
#RewriteBase /

RewriteRule ^((urllist|sitemap).*.(xml|txt)(.gz)?)$ /vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} (admincp|modcp|clientscript|cpstyles|images)/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1 [L]

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !vbseourl=
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !chat
RewriteRule ^(.*.php)$ vbseo.php?vbseourl=$1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

RewriteRule ^(archive/.*)$ vbseo.php?vbseourl=$1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ vbseo.php?vbseourl=$1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

I've tried manually downloading and submitting using both possible urls - theopenjam.com/urllist.txt.gz and theopenjam.com/forum/urllist.txt.gz - with the same result both ways.

The Google downloads are working great...this is just happening with the urllist.txt.gz file for Yahoo.

Am I missing something or doing something wrong? I'm getting no love from Yahoo. :(

Any help or advice would be great, thanks in advance.

Hello,

I have just submitted your sitemap to Yahoo at Sign in to Yahoo!
Please check your downloads log.

I see some stuff from vbseo.com and 'download master', but not Yahoo. I've been submitting manually to Yahoo on a weekly basis for months.

I believe that Yahoo downloads sitemaps not so often as Google does, so it's possible that it will happen later.

Ok, thanks. I've only seen Yahoobot show up in my downloads list once, ever...so I was getting concerned.

As an aside, I enabled the archives links in the footer, and I now have a full onslaught of Yahoo Slurp on my site. I guess Yahoo really likes those footer links!
