Without seeing your query, I can't be sure, but I bet you're doing
nothing wrong, except apparently not noticing that result sets are
limited in size and that queries are limited in execution time.

This is necessary on a universally accessible server, to prevent
Denial-of-Service attacks and the like.

I can't immediately think what utility you might get from the
exhaustive list you're requesting -- so I will first suggest that
you build queries to work with a smaller expected result set.

If you really do need *every* ChemicalCompound in a single result
set, you probably need to get your own DBpedia instance running,
so that your subsequent queries don't block (and aren't blocked by)
queries made by other users.

There are a few ways to get your own instance going.  The fastest
is by using the Virtuoso AMI for EC2 [1] with a DBpedia restore, as
released by OpenLink in December.  Of course, you can also download
all the component data sets and source code, compile your own Virtuoso
binary, and load all the data in -- but this takes many more hours,
and has much more potential for errors and back-steps along the way.

Be seeing you,

Ted
