  I infrequently backup my blog nientestronzate.wordpress.com using the XML export facility, just for safety sake.
  Today after clicking on the button on https://nientestronzate.wordpress.com/wp-admin/export.php?type=export the connection times out and I’m unable to download the backup.
  First I tried with Firefox that laconically say:

  “File non trovato (FIle not found)

  Impossibile trovare il file (canno find the file) https://nientestronzate.wordpress.com/wp-admin/export.php?download=true&content=all&cat=0&post_author=0&post_start_date=0&post_end_date=0&post_status=0&page_author=0&page_start_date=0&page_end_date=0&page_status=0&submit=Scarica+file+di+esportazione. “
  then I used another browser that told me there were an “Internal server error”. I also unsuccessfully tried with wget command line tool.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  If you try to download the archive of articles restricting to a couple of months the download runs fine.
  Downloading only pages works too. Perhaps trying to download all the current 1913 articles is too much.
  A temporary solution is to download montly archives.
