Is there a way I can download the converter with out getting a SVN client?

Go to the first link in Paul's post.
Click on root and keep clicking on each folder name until you are viewing the file. at the bottom of the page will be a download link to download in original format.
There are 3 files you need to get; includes/auth/auth_mybb.php, install/convertors/convert_mybb.php and install/convertors/functions_mybb.php

What does this import and what does it not ?

I checked the thread and it says it dosent do forum permissions, but does it drop anything else ?

I am having some issues with Mybb and want to change, but I want to make sure the converter does things like full user accounts etc.. before I do it.

Cheers for any answers

It doesn't do attachments or Private Messages. There is also a problem with converting posts by Guests, but if you don't allow Guest posting, this won't be a problem.

It most likely means that your server doesn't have enough resources to run the convertor. Try the tip in this post, http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopi ... #p12752055

Did not work dicky, i am converting to smf......then to phpbb. Thanks !

Some hosts don't allow you to override the settings. You could do the conversion locally. Use EasyPHP, WampServer, or XAMPP.

Some helpful tips are in this Knowledge Base article, Offline Conversions
