Bug Report: Failure to Import All Entries from Livejournal

This is an official type Bug Report where I give as much data as I can so that those who are testing such things can hopefully figure out what went wrong and, more importantly, how to fix it.

So I'm a new Beta Tester. Yesterday, I tried to import my livejournal over to Dreamwidth. I asked the Import helper to import over my tags, friends groups, entries and comments. I was already warning importing my pictures over would probably fail as I'm still a free account and I wanted to rework my bio. So.. I asked the importer to import only those four things.

Tags, no problem. The friends groups, no problem. And it started importing the entries fine. However, after 599 entries, leading me into Mid-July 2003 in my LJ, I started getting errors instead. The error I get looks like these.

	Your entries have failed to import and will not be retried. XMLRPC failure: Client error: Client is making repeated requests. Perhaps it's broken?	59 minutes ago
<input ... >	Your entries have failed to import. XMLRPC failure: Client error: Client is making repeated requests. Perhaps it's broken? This was failure #4.	1 hour ago
<input ... >	Your entries have failed to import. XMLRPC failure: Client error: Client is making repeated requests. Perhaps it's broken? This was failure #3.	1 hour ago
<input ... >	Your entries have failed to import. XMLRPC failure: Client error: Client is making repeated requests. Perhaps it's broken? This was failure #2.	1 hour ago
<input ... >	Your entries have failed to import. XMLRPC failure: Client error: Client is making repeated requests. Perhaps it's broken? This was failure #1.

Since then, I've tried reimporting (as you can gather from the errors above) a number of times and have tried manually porting over the entry it seemed to get stuck at in case there was something wrong with that particular entry and deleting it on LJ (I've since reposted it), however it refuses to import anymore and all I get are those errors.

Can anyone help me? Is there any way to salvage the situation or do I need to remove the ported over entries and try again? Where do I go from here? I'd really like my old LJ entries here.

Thanks in advance!

Huh.

So.. for whatever reason LJ is no longer blocked at work. For how long? Couldn't say.

It's.. well, as K would point out it isn't Ironic, per se, but it's something.

LJ was taken away from me a while back, when I actually cared. Before CC. Before LJ was involved in so much stupid garbage it should never have gotten involved with.

It was hard, but I learned to get along without LJ and I daresay LJ learned to get along without me. Those who wanted to keep an eye on me started seeking me out on CC or probably getting occasional updates from K.

Now LJ is back and... everything's changed. I just don't see me getting anywhere close to as personally invested in this site and the stories here as I was when a few years ago.

So... maybe not Ironic that LJ has been given back to me, but.. something...
