  Hi!! I’ve try several times to upload the xml file, previously downloaded from postreus. I’m trying with the actual file and not the zip. However, it doesn’t work and the system still saying I’m not uploading the correct file. What can I do?

  Are you using this guide? http://en.support.wordpress.com/import/import-from-posterous/

  Have you tried using another browser? http://browsehappy.com

  You cannot upload a zip file. Posterous sends you a .zip file which you need to open to retrieve the files inside. Per the guide at http://en.support.wordpress.com/import/import-from-posterous/ you’ll need to upload the wordpress_export_1.xml file, not the one you tried to import.
