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.

Duplicate title on Crawl
Ok, this should hopefully be a simple one. Not sure if this is a Moz crawl issue of redirect issue. Moz is reporting duplicate title for www.site.co.uk , site.co.uk and www.site.co.uk/home.aspx is this a canonical change or a moz setting I need to get this number lower.

Why is Link Count smaller than Internal Links in Crawl Test report?
We recently ran the crawl test report and for most of our pages we are getting 1150 internal links but 40-50 as the link count. Why is there such a big disparity?

Crawl test from tools
Hi, I notice that the crawl test which is from the Research Tools doesn't really get a new crawl even though there is 2 crawl per day. It will only provide the data which was acquire from the crawl diagnostics in my pro account. There is no point for me to get the data which I get from my crawl diagnostic isn't it? Even seomoz provided with more than 2 crawl per day also useless in this case. This whole thing doesn't make sense as the crawl diagnostics will only perform a full crawl test once every week. but even the crawl test also not helping any thing out for me.

Why would only 1 pg of an 18 pg site be crawled?
I signed up yesterday. Added 4 sites. The one I really need data on now has only had 1 page crawled. The other sites have had almost all pages crawled (over 40 each) in one day. What is wrong? The main domain has a 301 redirect to another domain name is that the problem? Is there something wrong at Google analytics? I dont manage this site and I'm picking up behind another firm..where should I start my discovery? Thanks so much!

Drop in number of Pages crawled by Moz crawler
What would cause a sudden drop in the number of pages crawled/accessed by the Moz crawler? The site has about 600 pages of content. We have multiple campaigns set up in our Pro account to track different keyword campaigns- but all for the same domain. Some show 600+ pages accessed, while others only access 7 pages for the same domain. What could be causing these issues?
