I have the following sites in Kinsta:

- utaustin
- utpermian

Neither of these sites ever finish importing into DevKinsta locally. I get an error on the site download step every time.

All other WordPress sites of a similar configuration that exist in my Kinsta account import locally without issue. Only these 2 cause any problems.

Why is this failing at the site import step and how can I get around this problem so I can have local instances of these sites.

> Hi @Nick_MacKenzie wave You said this only occurs when syncing from a MyKinsta site. The sync itself uses rsync (over SSH). rsync itself is resumable, however the pull action I don’t believe is resumable if it fails. I do believe it uses zlib compression, although the compression is related to the SSH link, not the files. I was able to successfully “pull” a site from my MyKinsta Company by going to DevKinsta Home, then clicking on Add Site → Custom Site → Import Backup I filled in the Si…
