Administrative and Maintenance Tools - Import External Images

This vBulletin 4 product imports external images in your posts from external servers or paths into a specific path, normally your forum's image folder.

Differently than the previous product Image Cache for vBulletin 3.x., it parses the posts at regular intervals for new images and replaces the external references in the background. Also, instead of using only a single folder, it creates folders for years and months, making it much easier to handle large quantities of images. The source and destination image URL's are stored into database, too, avoiding unnecessary duplicates.

It moves and optionally converts images from one place to another. It is a handy tool in order to keep your images local to your forums.

Version 1.0.4 is temporarily in BETA stage until the users have confirmed the newly requested features.
Version 1.0.5 is still in BETA stage. It adds a new bunch of additional features, one of which allows you to test your mathematical understanding ... and a few other to fine-tune CURL and socket timeouts, and resizing on the fly of too large images. If you don't know what these options do, please leave them at their default values.

Translated it says, the database server did not make it in time to reply to the web request. You probably have a hosting situation in which the database timeout is too low compared to the timeout of the web server.

If the server dies while importing images, it should have imported already the image and saving the new Url should be really the last step. The only sotuation where I may immagine problem with this, is where a database server dies while saving the data, and this happens typically with overloaded shared hosting.

If it was working fine before, please check with your hosting the changes which were made in the mean time to the system, nothing happens for no reason, never.

And, if an image is removed in the instance where an image is downloaded and saved to your server, it may become incomplete. GIF images would show then cut in half, I don't know about others.

And, in any case all of these problems have nothing to do with this plugin. these are server issues, some of which need good systemists to fix (db issues).

There is nothing I can do about timeouts.

sir my server tech reply to of your this post
i am on urljet

Hi this is a 16core server and the load averages show
Load Averages: 5.56 4.86 4.54

The server is definitely not overloaded.
There have been no changes to our server configuration

where the developer says
"If the server dies while importing images, it should have imported already the image and saving the new Url should be really the last step."
The problem seems to me that since the link is not functional the image is never imported and its imposable to save any url.
