Thanks for all this info. I started an import a couple days ago and it took about a full day to finish (but that was expected, and I'm just happy it finished with--from what I can tell--no problems; just slow). Unfortunately for LJ, this finalized my decision to come here for good. I hope for the sake of everyone who's staying there that LJ gets things under control and can prevent more attacks.

Anyway, I definitely appreciate all this info. Thanks for letting us know. =)
