I've looked at the stickies and looked through the forum.. I am going from a wordpress.com to a self-hosted godaddy/wordpress.org site. I exported my XML from my wordpress.com= 1.6MB. When I trie to import it to my self-hosted site, it stops at 225 posts.
Could it be because I migrated posts from Xanga and livejournal to my wordpress.com site and when I tried to map my posts it was coming from my other WordPress site.
I get an error message that reads like this and not sure if that's a wordpress problem or a godaddy question/problem.
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, support@supportwebsite.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.
More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

That is godaddy's customization of the 500 Internal Server Error message. I can pretty much guarantee that they automatically killed the import process before it was finished, because they deemed it a "runaway task", i.e. - it had consumed too much server processor (CPU) time.
Two approaches are possible:
- talk to godaddy support, tell them the exact time and date, and what time zone you are in, and ask if they could exempt you from automatic "kill" just until you get the import completed; or
- learn enough about XML to divide up your import file into several smaller files, each less than 200 posts. And do several separate Imports.
