Reports Truncated at about 250MB

[pm]

Hi,
Has anyone else seen this:
a report that is larger than 250MB gets truncated when downloaded
through the url provided by the SOAP API (whereas I can easily log in
to adwords and download the same report from there completely).
I have tried this with a few different reports and every time I only
get exactly 263064130 bytes (~251MB).
I tried both using Java and wget to download the report with the same
result. Downloading it compressed (as described recently in the blog)
yields the same result. About 18MB gets downloaded which expands to
exactly 263064130 bytes.

I searched the group, but didn't find anything, so if this is an old
'known' issue please let me know, otherwise I will press on the
matter...
Thanks.

Hi pm,

I have this issue myself, although for me it was different file sizes.

I get the following message appeneded to the truncated report:
<hr><b>Timeout. This is only a partial
webpage</b><hr></body></html>

Is this what you see as well?

I am in contact with Google on this, but it might take some time for
them to fix this.

You probably need to adjust the time-out.

i'm having the same problem with a report that's only 350KB (or at
least that's the part that downloads) and with a infinite timeout.

No, there's nothing appeneded at the end. The report simply gets
truncated when it hits that "magic" file size. I don't think it's a
timeout issue as when you download the report compressed it takes less
than a minute to download the report that expands to the "magic" file
size.
The report doesn't get truncated at the same place in the report (i.e.
on a specific keyword) it just won't go beyond 263064130 bytes...

has anybody heard back from Google about this issue other than that
they're looking in to it?
