It works, but I think my forum is too big for the importer. It keeps failing to import large chunks.

do you mean it stops? or intermittently misses stuff? if later, what is the collation or charset on the data?

Sent you a PM with the detail.

Basically, the import from Vbulletin to SMF works 100%.
The import from SMF to SPv4 is a nightmare. It only imports the bits it feels like, leaving chunks behind at random, skipping threads, ignoring others, part importing some inbetween losing access to the page!
Eventually the importer says it's finished, but the new SPv4 forum ends up about 40% down on the data the SMF forum holds.
This is my 3rd night and 22nd attempt of trying after wiping all databases and trying over and over.
I can only assume my forum is too big.
Shame, I'm gutted. I so wanted to use SP as opposed to VB. Looks like I'm stuck with VB for all eternity. May God have mercy on my soul!

based on your size data above, we have imported larger databases, so its not specifically size issue... havent seen you pm yet, but we have some issues (works 95-98% of the time) with diff collations and non utf characters...
We do plan on some work on the importer real soon including 5.0 support...
If you were willing to share your SMF database with us, we could try to see what the issue is... if thats okay, email it to support at simple-press dot com...

Can I add that if you do do this can you include a list of a few forum/topic/post id's that did not get imported so we can look closely at those records. Despite your comments it does not 'only import the bits it feels like, leaving chunks behind at random'. There will be a reason why it fails on certain records.
