Of course, if you start your knowledge type set from scratch, you
won't run into these problems.

Actually, this is only a minor upgrade. It's enough to replace the
product with the new version and then run
http://SERVERNAME/FLENAME/reload_all_dtml as administrator. No need to
export and import - that's only needed if the information model has
changed between versions.

A course (or entire Fle3 instance) export should reply with a zip file
which your browser should handle (either ask what to do or save
automatically somewhere, depending on your browser settings). An
export of a large course may take a while.

A normal zope export can be stored on the server or downloaded,  but
that's a different thing. Fle3 exports and imports use their own xml
format and always work with the client (export sent as zip file,
import sent as zip file from client machine).
