Zotero importing from mendeley and stopping at around ~1442/2400 articles

I suspect one of my mendeley files/entries if funky and that is the source of the stop. How can I eliminate/locate the problematic mendelay file. Can I find out from he zotero output where the issue is?

It doesn't look like it's stalled. I'm not sure how long you had the debug output enabled, but it doesn’t show the beginning of the import or any error at the end. During the time debug was enabled, it downloaded a few files and had at least 493 more downloads scheduled.

It’s possible there’s a particularly large file (or several) in your collection. I’d recommend leaving it running a bit longer—perhaps overnight—to see if it completes.

If you enable Help → Debug Output Logging → View Output before beginning the import, you should be able to see logs that include files being downloaded. However, keep in mind that having debug output enabled can actually make the import take longer.
