Hi David,
Please can you post new forum topics instead of tacking on to existing ones? It gets a bit confusing when a forum topic contains several different peoples’ issues!

I was hoping that there would be an option to download the zip files directly from the WP admin panel to my computer
Do this by clicking on the big blue ‘Restore’ button; then click on the entity that you want to download to your computer.

Also it seems that there is no advantage to adding the paid migrator plugin to the site that you are migrating from. Is that true? The free version works just as well and you can add the paid plugin to the installation that you are migrating to?
Yes – the Migrator add-on does it’s work on the ‘destination’ side of the migration. It doesn’t do anything on the source side, so installing it there is redundant (and harmless).
Best wishes,
David
