Override with:
php_flag upload_max_filesize 8M
in the .htaccess file. May not work if BlueHost doesn’t allow overrides.
What we’re suggesting to folks oveer at http://wordpress.com and http://daria.be is to open up the XML file after saving a copy and deleteing the posts already transfered. The individual posts are contained with ‘item’ tags and appear to be safe to delete.
I’m back to let anyone following this thread know that I was successful in my WP-to-WP transfer. For some reason yesterday when I attempted the import I got back “No files found”, but this morning when I tried again the whole XML file transferred over. It only missed two posts I wrote yesterday. I got comments, photos, everything. I am VERY HAPPY.
I am having teh same problem. The XML file from WP.com is 2.9M and changing the php.ini numbers has not helped.
table4five, do you know WHY it chnaged in your case.,.. was it the htaccess file?
Or was it becasue bluehost might have geneally reset the apache over nnight….
I guess I was wondering WHAT you did that made this happen… I am really feeling very frustrated right now and BlueHost is not being very helpful either…
anyone, please help!

You have to edit your php.ini file like you said, but you also have to copy it to your wp-admin directory. That way you’ll tell your PHP server that you’ve updated your policy for uploads.
I am in the process of moving my blog to space hosted by a friend on Rackspace. I managed to locate the php.ini file but have no idea of how to edit the file. What editor would you recommend and can you also give an idiot’s guide to set the WXR file size to 10MB. My file is just over 5MB.

Played with php.ini file without any success. The following worked.
I created three users and generated three XML files from wordpress.com. Imported these separately without a problem.
