Might I suggest you also look at the filefield_sources module?

http://drupal.org/project/filefield_sources

It requires a patch for its curl implementation to honor redirects, but it works like a charm. I used it in a project recently to have it auto-fetch images from a remote server.

[...] WP2Drupal interacts directly with the database, whereas Wordpress_Import uses the WXR export file. It is not clear whether these migration modules also migrate WordPress files. There is Drupal code out there for migrating files on a remote server to Drupal, see: http://bensangeorge.com/2009/06/drupal-bits-migrating-remote-files-in-drupal/ [...]

George,

I’d like to have you re-post this to DrupalEasy. What do you think?

We’d give you credit and maybe rewrite some of it to match our style.
