Unable to import CSV

Any attempt to import the CSV from IMDb is met with a "snag" and internal server error. I've tried multiple computers, multiple browsers, and multiple times over the course of several days and I always get the error.

Hi Ryan,
How many entries does your export have in it? Would you mind emailing me a copy of it so I can check it out? travis@themoviedb.org
Cheers.

It's just over 3000 entries. I emailed you with it.
Thanks.

Ok, perfect. I think it's the number of items that's the issue.
I can manually import it to one of your lists for you, which list do you want these items imported to?

The Rated list is fine, thanks.

I went ahead and imported the CSV in 1000 entry sections. That did the trick.

Hi Ryan,
Sorry I didn't get to this earlier, but yup, I figured that was the issue. Happy to hear it was imported. I have a plan for the future that wouldn't make this an issue, and it's helpful now that I have a big list too!
Cheers.
