Hi, As I said on the user list ( thread : "Import (not so) large data into a remote postgis database" ), SPIT has the advantage of showing a progress bar. This is a good feature when uploading data through a slow connection (my case these days).
But I think it would make sense to move this feature (the progress bar) to the DB manager. I tried to do it [1], and it kind of works sometimes, but there's some UI refreshing issues, and I won't time to investigate much more these days... Maybe we should also think about making the import more efficient and robust. I'm currently working with a slow connection, and uploading a table of around 4000 lines takes ages (around 2 hours). I don't really understand what the bottleneck is, but the transfer rate is way under the transfer rate I'd have if I uploaded a dump file and ran it online. All more efficient ways (pg_dump, ogr2ogr, pgdump,...) are not suited for non power users...
