I've downloaded a .ics calender but there is no way i can import it.

In your file manager, you should be able to bring up an "open with" dialogue to open the iCalendar file with Etar, which imports it for you.

It looks like the .ics file is corrupted. I'm gonna have to try it with different file and see if it works.

It seems to import just the first event for me.

Bulk import (and export) is a Work in Progress. See: #653

I have code to do bulk import, but it required a fairly major rewrite of the import logic, and a way to pass a whole lot of events to the event editor one at a time. I did that by using an app-global FIFO, which is normally empty. When the event editor is created (in this situation by the import logic), it pulls events out of the FIFO and presents them to the user one at a time for acceptance or rejection.
