Joomla! version: J1.5.26
PHP version: 5.3.13
MySQL version: 5.1.65
Host: Rochen
Akeeba Backup version which took the backup: 3.2.7
Kickstart version used to extract the backup: Kickstart Pro svn1675(Alpha)

Description of my issue:
I am attempting to install a copy of a website on another server by using kickstart and copying the backup files from Amazon S3. Initially I received an error about object out of range, so I searched the forum and found a solution to try Kickstart svn1675(alpha). Using svn1675 has allowed the restoration to proceed, however, like another thread in the forum, the restoration is unacceptably slow. The initial screen progress bar showed 1.6% progress and in 30 minutes it has not updated again.
The screen warning says do not close the window - how can I close it safely and resume the kickstart by uploading the files via ftp, or is there a work around for this very slow Amazon S3 importing?
Thanks, Nicola

Hi Nicholas, thanks for the update. I tried svn1732, but came across a new problem... after entering Amazon public and private keys, and selecting bucket, there was no list of archive files. The display had <ROOT> which appeared to be a link, but went nowhere, "Folders" written on the left underneath <ROOT>, and "Files" written on the right. No archive files were listed.

See attached image.

Hi Nicholas,
I am using Firefox 15.0.1. Today when I tried it the archive files displayed correctly. Why that is different to yesterday when I tried twice I don't know, mystery.
Anyway, once I selected the archive file for importing, the screen still seems to freeze like it is not progressing with the import. Here is a screenshot after 15 mins - had been no progress.

Hi Nicholas, as far as I can tell the import progress page loads and has that 1.5% slither of a progress bar on it from the start (either that or the first refresh happens so quickly that it appears to be the starting screen), and then is never refreshed again. The progress bar never moves from it's original state.
The website is hosted with Rochen in Dallas USA. Not sure where Amazon S3 is physically located, but I think it is USA also. When doing the Akeeba backup procedure on this website, the configuration is set to 10meg split archive file size chunks, with disable multipart uploads ticked, otherwise timeout errors occur. Does Kickstart need some similar parameters perhaps??
Thanks for your continual help with this.
Regards, Nicola
