Migrations from LiteSpeed servers time out

I ended up only being able to migrate the database and the themes directory. Every time I tried to include plugins or uploads, it timed out. I ended up tar.gz the plugins and uploads folders and extracting them on Flywheel using SSH. It worked, but it's not a great experience, especially considering how excellent the old Flywheel Migrator plugin was.

Thanks Kevin. Hopefully that'll fix it in the future.

We've identified a few scenarios in which large migrations from LiteSpeed servers become stuck in progress. We are looking into reproducing the issue and developing a solution.

Hi Cliff Snyder, I'm the product manager of the WP Engine Site Migration plugin. Thanks for submitting this feedback about the timeouts. I looked into the logs of your migration attempts and noticed that you're migrating from a LiteSpeed server. We have seen other cases of timeouts from large LiteSpeed migrations, while the smaller migrations are more successful. This may suggest an issue related to memory limits.
Yesterday we released version 1.4.1 which includes better monitoring of memory limits during the migration. Please let me know if you're able to try this version on your next migration.
