importing images in posts from typepad

I have successfully imported my posts from typepad – but the images are still stored on the typepad server. I would like to get them onto my server.

I have tried using the cache-images plugin – but I continually get the error – “ulpoads folder is not writable”. IT IS WRITAbLE! I am using WP 2.0

I have also tried using the SQL query – I may have been doing it wrong – I am not sure!

Is there anyone out there that can please help!

Cheers:)
