It is still eating up space.

Does that mean it is doing something good?

It is still eating up Database space like crazy.

It has more than doubled my database space.

If it keep on doing that, I will run out of space again as they only increased it from 800 Mb to 1200 Mb and it has already used up 1063.4 which now seems to be decreasing. ????

It is decreasing rapidly.

It has dropped back to 810 Mb of space.

Is that a good sign or a bad sign?

I am able to access the site.

I was also able to go into and read a topic.

It is still doing that step though.

Does this mean that the step has been completed even though it is still hung up in that step?

It shows 7.1 on the bottom.

Should I now stop that step manually?

Everything seems to be working OK, therefore, I am going to take a chance and stop that step, as it seems that it has really accomplished its task.

I stopped it and received the following message:

Updating database to version: 7.1
If at any time this step times out you may just refresh this screen and it will continue.
