is your SMF Version 2.0 Beta4? our converters are for SMF 1.1.7 only. (2.0 converters are still in developement) You can install SMF 1.1.7, convert your IPB and then upgrade your SMF to 2.0 Beta4.

the time is depending on your source forums size. small forums are converted in 1-4 minutes, large forums can take some hours.
