        Have you tried an advanced report?  Advanced reports should allow you to get up to 100,000 links.  If you still have problems, visit the support forums and ask them to look into it for you.

          Hi There,

          Thanks for writing in with a great question.

          Unfortunately, a limitation of our API is that we can only export the top 25 links from each linking root domain (http://screencast.com/t/OMw5D0E79x). This means that, if the majority of your links are coming from a small number of domains, we would only be able to export a small percentage of your links. This includes internal links as well as external links. For example, seomoz.org has 61k internal links, but we would still only be able to export the top 25 links.

          The advanced reports have the same limitations on the number of links per linking root domain and can only give links from an increased number of root domains.

          I hope this clears things up.

          Please let me know if you have any other questions.

          -Chiaryn
