Last estimate was about 90 hours.
this estimate is not accurate. i made the comment about 90 hours in the private admins channel on IRC based on a simplistic (and inaccurate) calculation; i expect the real time will be somewhat less than that.
for comparison, 7 hours later, the same simplistic estimate now suggests that import will take 54 hours.
nonetheless, the import is taking longer than i initially expected. i'm sorry for providing a bad estimate, but the import had to be done. it's unfortunate that s1 has to be offline while it's done, but this is a direct result of WM-DE not having enough money to fully support the Toolserver. the recent grant from WMF should help a lot with downtime caused by database issues like this.
under the terms of our SLA, a full refund of account fees for the import period will be given to all users.
