 * I am trying to import posts from another wordpress site using the Tools > Import
   function and it is not working. I’ve tried checking the “upload attachments” 
   box and unchecking it. The file I am uploading is a small .xml file that was 
   generated using the Export function with WordPress 3.9.2 I believe. Please help!

 * Just for future reference the “The Connection was Reset” is a server memory error
   or a max execution time error. This would mean that you server is barely able
   to handle the large request of the import.
