I'm going to keep the current import running and setup a whole new server with local db and start importing there as well and see who wins.

After a few hiccups (eg forgot to edit the AvatarService.php as per earlier) I started the local import an hour and a half ago. As of right now The DB server import is at 87.35% on posts, estimated time to complete 30:03:29 and increasing a second every second, 12.8 million posts imported. The local server import is at 23.35% on posts, estimated time to complete 01:10:00 and increasing about 2 seconds every second, 3.2 million posts imported.
So

The AdminCP error log should provide more details.

Yeah, it's a disaster too. I managed to login though and somehow navigate to File Check. "Intern" btw is from the site name "International Skeptics Forum".

MMM .... should have done the math. Old database, new database, SQL dump file for the transfer I hadn't deleted, plus the VB file tree and Zip of it .... all adds up. Deleted the unnecessary stuff and import has resumed.

Yep. You'll also need overhead for:

The DB server import failed at the last minute also, due to HDD space on the webserver. Fixed that and it's gone to "finalize" stage! But ...
So clearly doing a transfer/local server import/transfer would probably have overall been faster if I'd started that way, but in this situation, letting the import continue has won. Fingers crossed nothing happens while finalizing ... how long should I expect that to take?

Hmmm ... instructions at the end of the command line import said I need to complete the import via the web, but it appears this is going to also take many hours Are those instructions incorrect, and I should instead use --finalize from the cmdline?
Yea you can use finalize

Apparently not --
Also, I'd note your docs say -
This process may take a few moments, or several minutes to complete, depending on the volume of data that was imported, and how much data was already in your XenForo database.
Several minutes? It's been more than 2 hours and it's not even finished with "Threads" yet, I assume the massive "posts" table is going to take even longer?

ahh, also tried xf:import-finalize, and it gave a different error -
Nothing comes up in the CP under importing any more, so I've gone and selected to rebuild the cache manually
