Your cookies are not correct. Yahoo changed mine and I had to copy them again. Seems to work best when I open the groups page in the browser and leave it open, then use the current cookies - with the "-cf cookie.txt" parameter. Then the next time, I just leave the -ct and -cy parameters off.

If its not that, then it could simply be that yahoo servers are acting up.

[Pablo2m]

Change the cookie for a new one and keep doing it, also probe using python 2 and 3 on windows and linux. Is there any way to get a more detailed description?

[IgnoredAmbience]

There should be additional logging information in the archive.log file in the output directory.

[Pablo2m]

archive.log I hope you can guide me where my problem is

[IgnoredAmbience]

It still looks like the cookies are incorrect, the server is returning a 307 redirect to the login page for all items except for messages (which are publicly readable).

Thanks @n4mwd, @IgnoredAmbience . They were right, it was a cookie problem
