I was importing a very large game project to my local system (170GB). Tortoise SVN just froze at 140GB ). I let it sit for 4 hours hoping it would wake up, but it didn't. 

I End Tasked tortoise svn and rebooted my system. Now if I try to Import again it says it already exists. There's no clean-up option as it's not a working directory yet. Is it possible to resume a failed import or do I have to start over? 
Thanks!

do a checkout and then add the missing files, then commit.

Oh damn. Of course! I was thinking of the import as the master copy or something, but of course, this would work. The server doesn't care what files go up on the first import. Thank you.

Didn't work. When I tried to do a checkout, it didn't download anything, it just said complete and the folder is empty aside from the .svn directory which is 120 kb in size.

It seems the import didn't complete at all then. Probably there is an open transaction in the repository which, at worst, is a waste of disk space but nothing "dangerous".

And what if you now add all files and commit them?

I would suppose you can also ask about this in us...@subversion.apache.org  where you will find more expertise in exactly what (if anything) could be done in the repository to resume the import
