Hey Hube,
Working with the web is sometimes a serious uphill battle.
These are the scripts I ended up getting made, and you don’t have to worry about time outs.
Imports posts from root of WordPress install and automatically populates wp_posts and wp_postmeta. This script has a long way to go for categories, tags and mapping ids. Tested with 150,000 posts imported in 10 minutes.

A few importers I used for different tasks.

Please use and fork at will. M
