Hi @dja_440!
WP Migrate Support Team here. Thanks for bringing this to our attention.
We have reported this internally for review and further consideration.
For now, you may use other browsers like Chrome.
Hi @dja_440,
Safari has an “Open ‘safe’ files after downloading” setting that could cause this. Could you please try disabling this option and see if it fixes the issue?

Kindly let us know how it goes,
Thank you.
HI, to update this i’m still no further forward. I’ve disabled the Safari setting and it is STILL only downloading just north of 500mb of data on a 2.4gb export.
When using Chrome and just before it moves to Media Uploads from Tables it reports a complete percentage of 933%. NINE HUNDRED, THIRTY THREE PERCENT completion then it moves to 0% for Themes into Plugins. It’s still running at them moment and will report back when it states complete.
So it downloaded in chrome but when i try to import it into local it says “sorry we couldn’t figure out what to do with the file, please extract manually”. And when i try to do this i get a message @unable to expand <filename> indo Downloads. This seems pretty hopeless so it looks like i’ll be abandoning this tool and going with something else. Disappointing.
Hi @dja_440,
Sorry to hear that you’re still running into issues with the plugin!
If you want us to look further into this, can you try editing your wp-config.php file on both servers to replace this line –
define( 'WP_DEBUG', false );
With these lines –
define('WP_DEBUG', true);
define('WP_DEBUG_LOG', true);
define('WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', false);
This will cause all runtime errors, warnings, and notices to be written to /wp-content/debug.log, which will hopefully yield some better information about what’s going on.
Can you try the export again and then send on the debug.log file if created please.
If the export completes, please try the import and check if a debug.log is also created on the local site.
More details about that at https://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/article/editing-wp-config-php/#wp_debug
Once we have finished troubleshooting you should revert that config change and delete the debug.log file.
