--- Comment #3 from Kunal Mehta (Legoktm) legoktm.wikipedia@gmail.com --- I can open http://fi.wikipedia.org/w/api.php with my browser ok, so Wikipedia server is working ok. Same bot also uses archivebot.py without problems (editing and creating pages).

--- Comment #4 from Kunal Mehta (Legoktm) legoktm.wikipedia@gmail.com --- Problem is related with big page size. Page with 3 articles goes thru, but page with 55000+ articles creates this error.

--- Comment #6 from Amir Ladsgroup ladsgroup@gmail.com --- When the page is big, mediawiki API doesn't let the bot to import the content. It's nothing we can do right now and the bug is not related to PWB, try listifying smaller categories or break it to several files
