cURL error 28: Operation timed out

You should increase the media timeout.
5 seconds is the default value. But if you have big files, you can set it to 30 seconds.

Hi, thanx, tried to set it to 30 and up to 50 but still got the same errors in logs
first on this small file:

https://www.szenenight.de/images/stories/2013/006/funneon560.JPG

Is it posible to split the import? Or is it posible to resume only the missing media? Or can i delete the posts in database an resume the importer?

Any idea or help on this? Try again about 10 times, but everytime i got this cURL error 28

You can’t split the import or resume only the posts with missing media.

Please ensure that the “Import external media” checkbox is not selected.

Apparently, there is something wrong on your server, that is not due to the plugin itself.

You can try to run the import in local. Here is the procedure: https://www.fredericgilles.net/support/kb/faq.php?id=30

Hi and thanx,
i tried with and without mport external media – end up in the same error.
Import local could be a last try – but we have more then 8000 articles with about 8000 images to transfer…
I wonder, while the import is running, the complete website is hanging, so there is a error, but hard to find out, what could be the problem on the server.

The local import is usually much faster than a remote import. And in local, you don’t have the server limitations.
