Archivarix External Images Importer

Works great!
I imported several posts into a site running WordPress 5.9.3 with Gutenberg and the Archivarix External Images Importer plugin imported the external images without any issues. I've tested a few other image importer plugins but none of them had the ability to scan a site and import from existing content like this one does.
