"Your feed filesize is larger than 512K."

[bkvwilson]

Hi,

I have tried everything to get feedburner to recognise my feed, but it
keeps returning the following message.

"Your feed filesize is larger than 512K. You need to reduce its size
in order for FeedBurner to process it. Tips for controlling feed file
size with Blogger can be found in Tech Tips on FeedBurner Forums, our
support site."

Hello Brian,

Your feed is really too large -- Content-Length: 745117

You may include fewer posts in your feed. This should reduce the feed
size.

I think Word 2007 is causing part of the issue because it generates
many unnecessary styles and classes to the code. Using Windows Live
Writer should be better.

[Darren T]

I'm having exactly the same problem with a brand new feed (with only
one item in it) generated by Wordpress 2.7 - it doesn't seem likely
that a new feed should be 512k+, does it?

[attyshea]

I am getting the same error and according to websniffer my feed is
only 3k large.

I'm having the same problem too - my feed size according to web
sniffer is only 8KB.

[Franklin Tse [Community Expert]]

Hello,

When and where did you get the error?

[Chris Barlow]

First saw the error when I was trying to change a setting on the
Feedburner administration page. I removed the feed and tried re-
adding it and it's coming back with this error:

"Your feed filesize is larger than 512K. You need to reduce its size
in order for FeedBurner to process it. Tips for controlling feed file
size with Blogger can be found in Tech Tips on FeedBurner Forums, our
support site.

The feed URL you entered is:

http://www.successabroad.co.uk/feed/

We could not find a valid feed at that address."


I can access the feed fine, and have even tried reduced the number of
feed posts in Wordpress (2.7) down to 1 and it still comes back with
the 512k error. I thought it might be a problem caused by my hosting
because they made a DNS change without telling me but that was 3 days
ago now.

[Franklin Tse [Community Expert]]

Hi Chris,

I will forward your case to the FeedBurner Team for investigation.

[Chris Barlow]

Hi Franklin,

Thanks for doing that. Should I be expecting an email response or
something?

[Danfog]

Having the exact same problem in WordPress 2.7 Looking forward to
working this one out...

[sybrrgeek]

I am having the same problems as the others ever since I have moved my
feed from FeedBurner to Google....any updates on this problem?

[comedynerds]

Me too. I have a podcast with 34 episodes. I don't want to blow out
any episodes, but it won't read anything new that I have put up there,
which is really annoying. I post weekly and I don't want my listeners
to think that i have stopped posting and go away.

[comedynerds]

this is my feed by the way

http://www.thecomedynerds.com/feed/

Any help would be awesome.

[Franklin Tse [Community Expert]]

The Team should make a reply in this thread... I will forward this
thread to them again...

[PackersLounge]

I am having the same problem this morning. Very frustrating.

[vbb]

Me too :(
My subscribers have not been getting any updates via email since
beginning of the month.

[Chris Barlow]

Still no go :-(

[DiScO]

I have the same problem too. Just changed from feedburner to Google
and trying to change some things but it reports the file is too big
also but it's only a little over 10Kb's.

Cheers.

[LightRae]

Me Too. Need some help on this. This began upon moving to feedburner
google account.

I see a lot of posts about this, but nothing saying it is fixed yet.
Is this being checked on at all? Just wondering, thanks.

[wicked noodle]

I'm having the same problem and have posted this question in another
thread - with no response. What the heck is going on with this? It's
quite apparent that this problem is a result of the switch to Google.

Someone needs to get this issue resolved!!

[Franklin Tse [Community Expert]]

http://www.successabroad.co.uk/feed/ and http://www.coachholidaynews.com/feed/
both are using Apache/1.3.41, PHP/5.2.6, WordPress/2.7. Still
investigating.

Hi Franklin

I am having the same feed file size issue. I publish a podcast with
iWeb and my rss.xml files are near 144k than 512k.

http://www.noelc.com/classic/classic/dj_noel_mix_archive/rss.xml
http://www.noelc.com/latest/dj_noel_recent_mixes/rss.xml?max-results=499

I get the error message when I try to make amends to the feed, such as
tweaking Smartcast settings.

This didn't happen before I moved to Google. Any help would be greatly
appreciated :-)

[Kustard]

Any update on this? My feed is still completely frozen, which is
starting to cause an issue as none of our site subscribers are getting
our latest blog updates :(

[Franklin Tse]

The Team and I are still investigating the issue. There seems to be a
problem between Apache 1.3.41 and FeedBurner.

[Dexter]

Im having the same problem with wordpress 2.7 ans 2.7.1

[mistertones]

I have the same issue, also on an Apache 1.3.41 server.

Hi all,

Some of the servers in the thread are blocking FeedBurner. Please add
clients with user-agent starting with "FeedBurner" to the whitelist.

[Dexter]

Hi Frankin,

I was running the bad behaviour wordpress plugin but have disabled
this and I still cannot import my feed into feedburner. getting the
same error when importing http://www.toynews24.com/feed into
feedburner. 'Your feed filesize is larger than 512K.'

There still appears to be an issue on the feedburner side??

[Franklin Tse]

The feed too large error is actually invalid. There is really an error
but the error message should not be that. The Team's investigation
shows that many feeds listed in the thread are blocking requests from
FeedBurner. So, please verify if your server is blocking FeedBurner.

[jimhaysom]

New to this thread, but on Wordpress 2.7. and getting the feed
filesize is larger than 512k.

This is a new blog in January 2009, so surprised it has hit the
filesize.

http://www.jimhaysom.com/feed/

Have just ported over previous feedburner account. Have tried
reducing in Wordpress admin the settings for syndication to only 1
post, but it still fails.

Help appreciated.

[Bob Bichler]

Franklin,

My feed:

http://www.oagpodcast.com/feed

Has not worked since I tried to cut over from Feedburner to Google...I
see that you are suggesting that it is an issue with apache, but since
I am using a shared hosting provider (like I assume most people are) I
am unable to make any changes to it....Why is it that this worked when
run by Feedburner but now that Google runs it there is a problem on my
end?

[Franklin Tse]

Hi Bob,

Please ask your hosting service provider if they are blocking requests
from Google/FeedBurner.

[Kustard]

Mine is sorted now - we have two servers, one running a newer version
of apache. I moved the site to this new server and it's all started
working.

[mistertones]

I am also using shared hosting, but have asked their support about
this.

However I don't think this can be the issue - I had a working
Feedburner feed set up before the account was moved to Google. At this
point the updates froze, and in the end I deleted the feed. Since then
I've been unable to create a new feed.

Ian

[Franklin Tse]

Hi Ian,

Please let me know if you hear anything from them. Thanks.

[mistertones]

Hi Franklin,

My hosting providers support replied, saying:

"Our engineers have advised that there are no known blocks on our
systems"

The feed is working normally and websniffer reports it as only 19K in
size.

Ian

[Franklin Tse]

Hi Ian,

Would you mind posting your feed here?

[Julia Chanteray - The Joy of Business]

Hi all,

I'm also having the 512k problem. My reading settings are 4 posts in

Hi, I also have this problem.
I transferred my Wordpress blog to a self-hosted version. I then
tried to update my feed details @ feedburner but have been unable to
get feedburner to accept my new feed. I get the error message about
the feed being too large, but I have verified the feed is Ok, reduced
it to summary only and just 5 posts. The size is now only 14k !!
But still the same error message comes up.

My feed is here http://gillmoorephotography.co.uk/blog/feed/

I don't really know what else I can do. Any suggestions most
welcome. Thanks.

[dalesully]

Hi i am fully transfered over to my new site now. It was showing an

I am getting the error "Your feed filesize is larger than 512K".

My feed is 'valid' going through the feedvalidator:

http://feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=http%3A//www.williamclaxton.co.uk/feed/

I set up the site yesterday and have posted a 1 line test post. So
doubt very much it is actually over 512K.

http://www.williamclaxton.co.uk

I've never had a problem before when setting up a feed, it is since it
moved to google that I have experienced this problem for the first
time. Any ideas on how to fix this as it is quite important!

HELP!

My feed is having the same issue. If it helps, my feed is coming from

one is having this error, so it's not any blocking on their end.

Hi i am with streamline and have asked my hosting and they say they
have hundreds of working feeds so shouldn't be a problem.
they also say i (myself) can't put feedburner on whitelist they say
they need to be contacted by the software vendor. so any chance
someone their can contact them?
http://streamlinenet.co.uk/contact.php or 0844 941 1000
i guess if it works on mine we'll know its to do with the whitelist
issue..

[dalesully]

hi well guessing that they have been contacted as my hosting,on the
whitelist issue, has got back to me saying
'We're glad this problem is now resolved.'
Unfortunately my small and valid feed is still saying the problem
"Your feed filesize is larger than 512K".
http://www.dalesullivan.com/feed
Not sure what else i can do this side so any other help would be
grateful.

Anyone with this problem and a Wordpress site might like to use this
plugin - it offers stats but not the nice sign-up features:

[Jeremy Burgess, GoldFigure]

Hi there,

I have just moved a site from the development server to live, the live
server is also hosted at Streamline (IIS, PHP, Joomla 1.5.10).

I successfully added the development server (XAMPP 1.7) feed to
Feedburner (http://goldfigure.dyndns.org/cfmwebsite/index.php/Expert-
Comment/feed/rss.html?format=feed) but the live feed is having issues
(http://www.cfm-advisers.co.uk/index.php/Expert-Comment/feed/rss.html?
format=feed).

The feed is reporting valid and is ~8kb.

Any help appreciated.

[mistertones]

Is everybody with this problem hosted by Streamline ?

[mistertones]

I've just queries this with my host again and they insist it is a
problem with Google, not at their end.

Also got this problem, I use Fasthosts and it is a shared package so
I can't do anything about it. Use feedburner on another website and
wanted to use it for this but seems Google have 'dropped a bollock'!

keep on checking back month by month and still no answer on this?
http://www.dalesullivan.com/feed

[andy_at_tcws.co.uk]

Looks like this might be a Fasthosts problem. FYI Streamline is a
reseller of Fasthosts – which is why people may be having the same
problem?

I am having a similar problem, and guess what, I am also hosted with

updated anything else I have written. I have reduced the feed's size,
but I am still getting this problem, which seems to be Streamline

I'm having the exact same problem from the Google/Streamline setup. I
really need this backup and running now.

As far as I can see Feedburner says it's Streamline and Steamline says
it's Feedburner. What can we do to resolve this? Who can we pester
further and what do we need to get them to do?

[sambeach]

I've got this problem too.

Fasthosts say contact feedburner.

And I can't find out how bar this forum.

I've just had the following reply back from fasthosts support which
doesn't help much.

How can we get in touch with someone at feedburner / google to answer
the question as to how feedburner connects to the website ... this is
getting ridiculous.


Thanks for your recent enquiry to the Fasthosts Support team

Our engineers have looked into the problem you have reported and
cannot see anything in terms of how the Fasthosts system is set up
that would cause this problem. Unfortunately we would need some
details of how exactly Feedburner connect to a website to process the
RSS feed to understand why their system is giving this error. To that
end you would need to contact them and ask them these questions.

If you have any further questions or problems regarding this
particular issue, please reply to this email including all the
relevant details.

If you reply after seven days, a new ticket number will be issued
automatically, as a matter of course. But we'll still be able to
respond just as quickly.

Many Thanks,

I also have this exact same issue. I checked my feed at http://web-sniffer.net
it tells me the feed size is 4.43KiB.

However, when I try and register it with feedburner I get the
following error message:
"Your feed filesize is larger than 512K. You need to reduce its size
in order for FeedBurner to process it. Tips for controlling feed file
size with Blogger can be found in Tech Tips on FeedBurner Forums, our
support site."

I am using Wordpress and hosting my site with Streamline.

I have raised a support ticket with Streamline today - waiting to hear
back from them.

It's a shame as I really want to be able to use feedburner.

Has anyone fixed this with their feed?

Btw, my feed is:
