You can do it in following ways;

1. You can go to control panel/cpanel and add host % It means now the database server can be accessed from your local machine. Now you can install and use MySQL Administrator or Navicat to import and export database with out using PHP-Myadmin, I used it several times to upload 200 MB to 500 MB of data with no issues

2. Use gzip, bzip2 compressions for exporting and importing. I am using PEA ZIP software (free) in Windows. Try to avoid Winrar and Winzip

3. Use MySQL Splitter that splits up the sql file into several parts. In my personal suggestion, Not recommended

4. Using PHP INI setting (dynamically change the max upload and max execution time) as already mentioned by other friends is fruitful but not always.
