 * I was having the same problem with a large WPMU import. I muddled about a bit
   and seemingly found a solution.
 * The only caveat is that I am _not_ creating new users with the script, and I 
   haven’t tested to see how this alters that function.
 * I changed a line in /wp-admin/import/mt.php
 * Line 106 changed from:
 * `$key = array_search($author, $this->mtnames); //find the array key for $author
   in the $mtnames array`
 * Line 106 changed to:
 * `$key = array_search($author, $this->get_mt_authors()); //find the array key 
   for $author in the $mtnames array`

 * Another chiming in that Akismet has been missing much more than normal, even 
   though the stats disagree.

 * I just had the same problem activating the plugin on one of my WordPress MU blogs.
 * I determined it was because when I copied and pasted the API key, I included 
   a trailing space. E.g. ‘abcdefghijk ‘ instead of the correct ‘abcdefghijk’
 * I disabled the plugin, re-enabled it, put in the correct API key without a trailing
   space and everything worked great.

 * I’ve successfully devised a function that has reliably grabbed the latest Tweet
   for the last several days for me.
 * For those of you who have been getting this problem and want a no-frills function
   that grabs only the most recent tweet, you can find the function [here](http://ianswenson.com/web/add-tweets-to-wordpress).
 * It uses the Atom feed instead of RSS. My server has had no problems with it.

 * The regular expression that finds and sets links isn’t robust enough to find 
   some of the URL shrinkers.
 * It’s the preg_replace() on line 112 and 114. You could replace it with something
   you like better. (Sorry, I’m regex dumb and can’t tell one from another, try 
   googling “preg_replace links” or “regular expressions links”
 * You might find something that works better for you.

 * Just to clarify, this is not this plugin’s error. I’ve used Twitter Tools with
   similar errors and even wrote a function using SimplePie to get the Twitter RSS
   feed instead of Magpie and it comes up with intermittent feed-grabbing errors.
 * The problems all seem to be server based as I have no issues whatsoever from 
   the localhost. I’ve checked up and down Google, phpinfo(), and PHP setting changes
   to no avail.
 * I’m going to try the RSS widget next, but in order to get the feed the way I 
   like, I’m going to have to customize this as well. I’d much rather use a simple
   plugin like this.

 * Boo! I posted too soon
 * Now it’s back to not working. Even with greater time outs it’s not grabbing the
   feed. I wonder what made it work then decide not to.
 * Hopefully I’ll post a new solution soon.

 * Alright, I have it working — at least momentarily.
 * You can add this line to the plugin or a functions.php
 * `define('MAGPIE_FETCH_TIME_OUT', 5);`
 * Feel free to change the time out to something shorter (in seconds).

 * The problem appears to be with the fetch_rss() function which apparently works
   via Magpie.
 * Both the plugin and a manually constructed rss fetcher work fine on my localhost
   test machine, but fail to grab the feed on the server.
 * I’ll post more if I find any solutions.
