It seems to get only XML from a downloaded file

It should allow an URL specification to get feed from an online website.
Needs update for PHP 7
By 
This plugin needs an update to work with php7. (and 8)
@garethgillman has provided a fix.
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fix-for-php-7/
Once that's fixed it works really nice. Although it could also warn users that media files haven't been moved.
Its not cool that @wordpressdotorg hasn't deployed that fix with an update to the plugin. Its almost like a core feature. For lots of people this is going to be one of their first experiences of WordPress trying to migrate their old site. Sorry for whinging let me know how I can fix it myself if thats easier.
Not tested on past 3 releases!!!

Why is this even being offered as a possibility when it has not been tested on newer versions of WP?
Need fix for import category

Update line 109 for fixed wrong import categories:
Old code: //$categories[$cat_index] = $wpdb->escape( html_entity_decode( $category ) );
New code: $categories[$cat_index] = str_replace(array('<![CDATA[', ']]>'), '', $wpdb->escape( trim($category) ));
