Well, the WordPress importer is kinda flawed, but as a developer I use it quite often. One of the more annoying things is that you can't simply import a file that's on the server. This plugin makes this possible. Please make a full backup of your WordPress install before attemting such an import.

Another feature is the auto-import of files during the plugin activation. This is especially useful in combination with the WordPress Reset plugin. Just reset the blog and auto-import all the content you need. Right now you'll need my patched version of the reset plugin that you can download from the plugin page on my site.
