The conversion for the following HTML code ended in a 404 error:

The old image still works: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VdqNYzWXR68/T-A3SyCjd_I/AAAAAAAAQIY/DL5yPyk2d7c/s1600/PEW%2BEuro%2B1.png

The new one leads to 404: http://backup.snbchf.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/PEW%2BEuro%2B11.png

I supposed that these images might be jpg and did the following. 1) restore the old version containing only the old images http://backup.snbchf.com/2012/07/six-reasons-why-italy-may-exit-the-euro-before-spain-ultimate-occupy-movement/

2) rename the old links to .jpg like follows:

3) delete the already imported new media for this post

4) rerun media tools

--> Media Tools does not log the treatment of the post anymore. But it imports the images, unfortunately as PNG, even if the links are JPG. Result: http://backup.snbchf.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Media-Tools.png

The reason your getting 404 errors on the urls with the % symbols is because they are blocked by the Apache mod_security rules your host is running. You should be able to open a support ticket with them to have your domain whitelisted.

Is this really the Apache host or maybe WP Better Security plugin ?

peterkirs commented 12 years ago

By the way, it looks that the source where we got the data from, is protecting its images

mod_security is a very complex module that allows for custom rules. Host Gator uses a very strict set of defined rules. See this thread for more info: http://forums.hostgator.com/frustrating-403-error-t48309.html?amp;
