How can I more easily move accounts from another host?

This method only works for clients with shell access (Level 4 and higher accounts):

Step 1: Log into telnet in your old host servers, go to your public_html directory, and type in the following command:

tar -cpzf yourdomain.tar.gz *

Step 2: Now login to SSH in your Gryphyn Media account and go to your public_html directory. Then type in the following command:

wget 123.45.67.89/yourdomain.tar.gz

where 123.45.67.89 is your old website's IP address.

Step 3: Wait for the transfer to finish. Then type:

tar -xzf yourdomain.tar.gz

This can save you a lot of FTP time, especially if you have a large website.

Please, if you do not know what telnet, SSH, or shell access are... this is not for you... yet! But you will learn. :-)
