Yes it has strayed. Felt Others following are beginners or help. Beginners might also have the same problem just as quickly as I did.
The positive results that you found at Froogle were from me downloading the froogle.txt file that the feeder created in my root/feed and then bulk uploading that to google base.
I did it that way because I sat and looked at the same screen saying
Froogle Data Feeder v.1.3.3 07.02.2007 20:45 started 2007/03/17 23:38:52
Feed file - /home/content/d/a/n/stomp16424/html/feed/froogle.txt
Processing: Feed - No, Upload - Yes
Upload started...
For about a half an hour.
It still doesnt do anymore than that. Thanks for checking up on status in froogle tho.

Question still remains.
