I've spent some time trying to narrow down this issue. I developed a
little sample application using the C# client library that I believe
reproduces the problem in a simple way.

Problem: On this application's 50th post, it fails. I believe this to
be a server side issue?

I am using the GData C# library 1.0.9.3 to reproduce.

Can anyone else confirm this is a problem?

The relevant info is pasted below; CODE and the Trace Error.

any more details on the exception? Is there an underlying proxy that maybe
is closing your connection down?

I just tried inserting 100 entries, and it worked fine for me, so it's
probably not a generic issue.

Blogger rate limits at ~50 posts per day. Any more than that, and you
need to log in to the app to solve a CAPTCHA per post.

That explains the behavior. Thanks.

That said, how would or should a tool designed to migrate a blog from
one of your competitors into blogger work? Is there something we can
do to assist these users? I realize this is a balancing act between
legitimate users and people attempting to spam the system.

For instance I built this tool lj2blogger that imports a LiveJournal
blog into Blogger: http://linuxlore.blogspot.com/2006/12/livejournal-
to-blogger.html, it seems like an inconvenience to ask the users to
migrate only 50 of their entries a day?

Thank-you,
Paul Cooley

Yeah, I understand that this sucks for users wanting to do imports of
anything larger than a small blog. Obviously, we're thrilled when
folks want to move from another blogging platform to Blogger.

All I can say is that this is a problem we're aware of, and we'll try
to come up with a solution that lets people import their blogs while
at the same time avoiding / mitigating the potential abuse of the
system by spammers, etc.

I've been thinking about how to solve this problem this afternoon. I
am not coming up with something ingenuous quickly. Would an
interchange of a CAPTCHA challenge and response every 50 entries for
the API provide a solution? It is still cumbersome, but I imagine
Blogger is getting their fair share of trouble makers.
