This really isn't the right place to
discuss genealogy programs - Have
you contacted Legacy support?
How big is the gedcom? How many people are in it? What's the
file size
of the gedcom? I've worked with Legacy files that have over
1,000,000
people in them - they run slow, depending on your computer
system, but
Legacy can handle really large files, up to 2 GB in file
size (however,
things really start slowing down once the file size hits 1.5
GB
Ancestry doesn't do the best job at creating gedcoms and
once it's
imported, there will probably be a lot of issues to resolve.
After
fixing the things in the import log you should back up the
Family File
(File > Backup file) and run File > File Maintenance
Check/Repair and
then Compact Family File (the check/repair
does some
compacting, but
the compact goes futher)
If you haven't contacted Legacy support, go ahead and send
an email to
Support(a)LegacyFamilyTree.com
and mark it for my attention and I'll try
to help you with it.

Quoting Patrick McGarry <hawkwind275(a)yahoo.com>:
Anybody know about another free genealogy program that
can
open my
ancestry.com
file, besides
Legacy.com freeware? Gedcom I guess
is too big because Legacy
always freezes when I go to make a Report. This
is angrifying
that I already
pay
Ancestry.com a big price, but they want extra money
to
spend
separate making
Tree books or Descendant Charts. I wont spend
that until years when
I retired,
and dont have time to recompose a familytree separate
from my already
ancestry.com. I get a discount because of my
cousin (who is
not
computer savy
to do this kind of stuff. She gets to see what I
do since tied into my tree
with discount).
