This issue usually happens when IP <=> DNS mapping is missing or internal HTTP request are blocked by the hosting company. * You can use report issue button in the plugin and we will fix it manually for you. * Once we release the new version please give it a try. * Best Regards, Bobby * [isearchable](https://wordpress.org/support/users/isearchable/) * (@isearchable) * [10 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/unpacking-archive/#post-5970995) * I am having this problem on 2 sites I’m trying to import to Arvixe host. * How can I get help with this? * [alpha centauri](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alpha-centauri/) * (@alpha-centauri) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/unpacking-archive/#post-5971002) * Hi I try to migrate data and i’m having the “Unpacking archive…” Issue. The migration (import) cannot be stopped. * WordPress Version 4.2.4 on Export and Import Site. Plugin Version 4.2 on Export and Import Site. * Hosting Company: webhostings.ch * How can I get information about when it will be ready to use? Or is there some workaround that could be done on the hosting site? * Thanx for your information. Best regards Orlando * [chuckhardwick](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chuckhardwick/) * (@chuckhardwick) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/unpacking-archive/#post-5971003) * Orlando, * I also have this problem which seems to be specific to certain hosting companies like Rochen. It works very well with Host Gator, tho. I started an email chain on Wednesday with Servpro ( as I have paid for the unlimited version I think they provide me better support ). However, I did not get any responses from the Vendor all day Thursday, so I don’t know if they are even getting my emails, and there is no way to phone them. Very frustrating, so now I am going a different route with the migration * [Shannon86](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shannon86/) * (@shannon86) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/unpacking-archive/#post-5971004) * I’ve tested it on Godaddy, Site5 and Arvixe today, not working on any of those hosts.
