I've wanted to completely switch from AvantGo to iSilo for some time now, but I was worried I could not get my MyYahoo page with iSilo.

Well, I followed the instructions I found in this thread. It is not at all what I expected. With the Avantgo version of MyYahoo, I get a short and sweet set of pages with just the sports score I want, movies for specific theatres, and a few news stories. That's all I need. It took up about 300k.

But, when I use the URL included at the beginning of this thread, I seem to get EVERYTHING Yahoo has to offer. iSilo has been converting MyYahoo for the last 20 minutes now and I'm afraid that the file will be several Megabytes long. I've seen it converting dozens of pages I've never heard of before (E! Online, horoscopes, etc.) and it doesn't look to be finishing anytime soon. I'm tempted to just let it go to see how big the file gets, but I only have 15 Meg free on my memory stick.

Is this normal?
