If you have a Tumblr blog, can you help test an updated version of the importer? It uses their OAuth API, which requires you to create an application. It’s simple and the plugin walks you through it. Here’s the ZIP file to the beta version. You can report bugs on #22422.
Edit: The plugin has been released, the beta is over: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tumblr-importer/

Happy to help test this. Will try out the new importer now with a blog that’s got 2,000+ posts and report back on Trac.

Installed and received the following error:
Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_FUNCTION in /home/somaweb/public_html/see-jane-run.com/wp-content/plugins/tumblr-importer/tumblr-importer.php on line 456

I can reproduce. The plugin uses a closure, which isn’t available in PHP 5.2.

I don’t have 5.2 handy to repro, but I’ve committed a fix to the branch that removes the closure and uses a separate function instead. It doesn’t break anything and seems like it should resolve the issue. Haven’t tagged a new beta yet, as I’m not sure how frequently we want to do that.

The new importer has been released as version 0.7. The above ZIP links should no longer work, just use the main plugin.
