Hi there I think the file importing from a dropbox is working well now. I increased the apache time out value from 300 to 3000 and some test imports have worked well. I presume 300 = 300 seconds = ten minutes and 3000 = 3000 seconds = 100 minutes and when you consider it only took about 10 to 15 mins to import the 52 minute audio files .... it didn't miss out by much time.
