Could you look to increasing the file size for the importing posts file. 2mb just isnt enough. I recently exported my posts and it was over 3mb in size. I think on older blogs with a lot of posts this is going to be common. and if like mine, there's only the one poster, you can't split it up.
Thanks alot
You can still break up that file into pieces if necessary.
You might ask your host to increase PHP setting called max_upload_size as most hosts leave that at 2MB.
Just modify php.ini with a text editor for yourself.

I think your missunderstanding something. When i go into the import feature on the dashboard it says:
Choose a WordPress WXR file to upload, then click Upload file and import.
Choose a file from your computer: (Maximum size: 2MB)
Thats what i want increased, 2mb isnt enough. I have 2 blogs, one with an exported files size of 2.7mb and the other with 3.2mb.
If you can't increase the max_upload_size by making a change to your php.ini file you have two choices:
1. Ask your host if they can increase that setting
2. Break the WXR file into pieces.

I guess I'm off to ask my host to increase the size. I'm having enough issues with 2.5 that I want to do a fresh install, import my stuff, and port over, etc. The file I exported from my site is 17.6 MB in size!
