Crawl Diagnostic | Starter Crawl taken 14hrs.. so far

We started a starter crawl 14hrs ago and it's still going, can anyone help on why this is taking so long, when it says '2 hrs' on the interface..
Thanks,
Rory

Hi Rory. Most of our help desk is on holiday today, since it's the Fourth of July in the states. We do have a record of your ticket and one other person who is having a slow starter crawl, and a help desk specialist is looking into this now. Sorry for the delays.

Thanks for your help, appreciate it.

Send an email to help (at) seomoz.org for someone to have a look.

It's a fairly big site, but it does say:
'To get you started quickly Roger is crawling up to 250 pages on your site. You should see these results within two hours. The full crawl will complete within 7 days.'
There's no option to do anything else, like cancel, reset etc — it just says 'Starter crawl in progress', it's been 16hrs now + bit frustraing as needed to send this through to a client this morning.. Anyone from SeoMoz around to look into this?

And here is how you reset the crawl:
1. On your webserver, edit the robots.txt file.
2. Block the seomoz bot from crawling the site by blocking its access to the root.
You can do so by adding the following lines:
User-agent: rogerbot
Disallow: /
This would end the crawl session.
But, before you do this, it may a good idea to check if your site indeed has a lot of content and outgoing links?
-
Rory,
What is the sub-domain that you are crawling? It may just be that there is a lot of content to crawl.
-
How would I reset the crawl? I don't appear to have an option to?
-
Rory,
I would guess that this crawl session has hung-up; it would be a good idea to start a new session. The session could have been left in the middle due to a server side issue on your website or a temporary drop in connection between the API server and your website's server.

Campaign Crawl
I have a site with 8036 pages in my sitemap index. But the MozBot only Crawled 2169 pages. It's been several months and each week it crawls roughly the same number of pages. Any idea why I'm not getting fully crawled?

Crawler has stopped crawling my website
Hi all, I recently changed my site www.ipbskinning.com to ipbskinning.com. For some reason my weekly scan states that no pages have been crawled. I tried making a new campaign with the sub-domain ipbskinning.com but still the starter crawl returns nothing? Am I doing something wrong? :S Thanks all!

Campaign status stock in status "Next Crawl in Progress!
Has anyone else had an issue laetly where the campaign status was stock in _ **"Next Crawl in Progress!" **_? One of our campaigns has been in this status for the page 2 1/2 days and this has not happened in the past as there are only 597 pages for this campaign to crawl. I send a help ticket request to the SEOMOZ team but was wondering if this is an isolated issue or if other community members have also experienced it? Thanks.

Dismiss crawl diagnostics error
Hello everyone, Is there a way to dismiss some errors in the Crawl Diagnostics tool so they don't appear again? It happens so that some of the errors are never going to be fixed because of their nature. For example, 'Title too long' errors that point to some of the threads on my forum - it doesn't make sense to change the title of a thread posted by user just for the sake of the error disappearing from the 'Crawl Diagnostics' tool. 🙂 Otherwise the CD interface gets a little bit cluttered with errors which I will never fix anyway. I wonder how others deal with this problem. Thanks.
