 Hi,
 I have problems (due to hosting php timeout) to import all my blog at
 once.
 I tried doing it by months, but it's also not working. Blog posts are
 imported, but nothing of the media library is imported.

 I can describe too what happens when trying to import everything at once.
 I've just 200 photos and every 90 secs the connection is reseted trying to
 import them. If you try to retry using browser, photos begin to duplicate,
 or triplicate, or more...
 After all this, then you finish, there is no attachments related to their
 post.

 I've tried importing by months, which would not spend more than 60 secs
 importing photos, but then the photos are not imported.

 Please, fix the import/export by months or by splitting files every 10
 post (or configurable).
 I would suggest too to allow any mechanism to import photos first, doing
 it in groups of 20 (or by configuration) and later, after that, importing
 post and attaching files to each post.


 I set it as critical as moving a blog it's impossible without a huge
 amount of work.

 I could try to help debugging if needed.

 Version 3.4.1 is also affected.
 Thanks and regards
