Bulk Import Member does not give Import Results until all records fail

[WebmasterSO]

I have a .CSV file with 14 members in my Download folder on my computer that I want to import.

I upload the file and only 2 members are added. No Import Results reported
I re-upload the same file and a few more members are added. No Import Results reported
I repeat the process multiple times until finally all 14 members are added and Import Results reports all 14 records failed due to “Member with this username already exists.”

Questions:
1. Why did I not get Import Results after each import?
2. Why did I have to upload multiple times when eventually all records processed OK?
3. Documentation indicates “The uploaded file should get deleted automatically. However, after you finish the importing of the user data, you should go to your media library to check and delete the CSV file (if the file is still there). That way you do not have that file left on your server after you are done with the import.” but I never encountered a requirement to put the .csv file in the media library.

Please ensure that you are running the latest versions of SWPM and the Bulk Import Addon.

I found the cause of the problem

Of the 14 users, several of them are already Administrators in WP and their email was colliding. It was stopping each time it encountered one and that is why I had to run it multiple times. Once I removed the colliding emails, it worked all the way thru first time thru.
