  Since Yahoo! 360 is closing I want to migrate my blog to WordPress.com.

  After uploading the archive I exported at download.360.yahoo.com (Tools -> Import -> Yahoo! 360), I repeatedly got the message “Could not unzip your Yahoo! 360 export file. Did you upload the ZIP file?”.

  Needless to say I am absolutely sure I uploaded the right file. Even after reducing the archive-size by deleting large content from it, I still get this message.

  Anybody experiencing the same?

  Is your ZIP file larger than the 15M mentioned in the upload tool?

  @Justjennifer: it was 85MB originally, then I deleted pictures from the file, but that didn’t work either.
  It wasn’t until I was left with a zipfile of 11MB that it worked last night.

  So I ended up uploading pictures and updating weblog entries for 119!!! items by hand. :-(

  The weirdest thing of this all is, that I by accident found all the zipfiles I tried to upload in the images section: 217MB in total.
