    Hello,

    We have to move about 7 or 8 wordpress image sites to a new server, we normaly just download the files and database, and upload the files to the new one, import the SQL file, and change the wp-config.php for the new database, but this takes a while.

    I have tried "Duplicator" plugin but get alot of errors on the downloading part saying it is not ready, does anyone else have any other alternatives.

    I assume you have already ruled out Multisite? http://codex.wordpress.org/Migrating_Multiple_Blogs_into_WordPress_3.0_Multisite

    Have you tried rsync? That goes directly from one server to the other, and bypasses you having to download and upload the files from your computer.
