I'm trying to import an OPML file with about 1500 feeds into Google Reader, but it doesn't work -- it looks like it times out. I'm using Google Chrome 3.0.196.2 on Windows XP SP3. Does anyone know of a way I can get these feeds imported?

You can split OPML file to smaller files and import each separately. Each with 200 outlines.

This information must have every file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> 
 <opml version="1.0">
  <head>
   <title>OPML</title> 
  </head>
 <body>

   **Here individual outlines**

 </body>
</opml>

Outlines

<outline text="Test" title="Test" type="rss" xmlUrl="http://test.com/test.rss" htmlUrl="http://test.com/" />

UPDATE

If you use some desktop RSS client, you can try export feed in parts.

I'm migrating from NewsGator Inbox (now discontinued), and to get it to save 200 feeds at a time I'd have to click 200 checkboxes individually. It's way easier to break up the .opml file with a text editor, but I was hoping it wouldn't come to that. (Not that it's a huge deal, but I'm surprised Google Reader can't handle a file this size -- only 1MB.) – jeffm Aug 4 '09 at 16:34

Loading the file into FeedDemon 3.0, then letting FeedDemon take care of uploading the feeds to Google Reader also seems to work.
