  Hi Attila,

  I see 93 posts on your Posts page. Do you know how many should be importing to your blog?

  I’ve cancelled your ongoing import process. If you don’t mind, would you be able to try uploading your file once more? If you’re still encountering this error, please contact us and attach a copy of your XML file to the message.

  Dear evarlese!
  Thanks for the answer. And sorry for my bad English.

  I don’t know the number of my old posts, sorry. Just know: they’re from 2006 november to 2009 february.
  In new blog tow the import is only to 2007 March.

  When I try the import once more and more, nothing happens and receive a mail: “import was successful”. But no more (newer) post appears.

  I try to send to you the original file – uploading to data.hu AND megaupload.com servers. Is it right?

  Thanks!
  Attila

  Hi there,

  Your export file is very large (70 MB), and contains a very large number of spam comments.

  Could you please try deleting your spam comments, and exporting your file again?
