Importing attachements from UBBt

[sNator]

I have problems to import my attached files from UBBt 6.4.4. The script just show
Importing 250

From : :: To : 250

66.67% Attachment -> 1-34-splogo1.gif
66.67% Attachment -> 1-228-stenargöront...jpg
66.67% Attachment -> 1-229-backllop,albeou.jpg
66.67% Attachment -> 1-294-53A4(1).jpg
66.67% Attachment -> 1-579-sidan104.JPG
66.67% Attachment -> 1-649-www.doc
66.67% Attachment -> 1-701-25.jpg
and around 200+ more

but files have been copied but takes around 6 times as much diskspace.
The script have't stopped running but no more files are being copied and there is no files attached in the posts.

Have you re-run the module many times ?

[sNator]

No only one time!

[Jerry]

Then I am not sure what is going on as the files written to the file system are being written as they are, not in wrappers or with extra data.

Unless you are storing them in the database and measuring the whole database size and you have a large board.

[sNator]

I store the files on disk and have around 15000 files that takes 1GB of disk.
When converted I have 172000 files that takes 8GB of disk.

Maybe if I try to lower the number attachments to convert from 500 at a time to 100? Can I redo the import of attachement without getting duplicates?

Whatabout avatars, is the UBBt avatars equiv to customprofilepics in vB?

[sNator]

I tried to import 50 attachements at a time and noticed that the scripts loops. The first 50 files get imported again and again. What should i do?

[Jerry]

There are many more because of the first page looping.

I have updated the file impex/systems/ubb_threads/011.php, if you download impex again, upload and over write that file, then import the attachements again.

Works fine thanks.
I have noticed another problem regarding polls. The poll subject is from another poll.

[Jerry]

The poll question or the thread title ?
