I’ve never been the one to get the data from Ning, but your experience sounds typical. I’ve received [corrupted json files and had to fix them](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/script/import_scripts/ning.rb#L60-L72) in the importers as best I could. I’ve also seen files that simply stop and can’t be repaired. Typically people need to contact Ning support to receive files that work and have all the data. I’m not sure if that’s possible anymore. If you can reach Ning support, also make sure they send you all replies in each topic (since they’re truncated at 100 or 200), and get them to send you all the attachments too.
