Wordpress 3.0 installed on XAMPP. When I try to install a theme via built in search theme feature, I get errors. I tried to update WordPress to 3.0.1 from Dashboard >> Updates... it still shows similar errors, hence cannot update Wordpress. Following is the error shown when I tried to upgrade to version 3.0.1

it appears that your hosting environment's internet connection is rather slow, Based off that stacktrace, it seems that during the attempt to download the .zip file, 55seconds later the Streams transport had not returned any data.

You can install the Plugin ​Core Control (that's one of mine), activate the HTTP Access module, and attempt disabling the Streams transport, By doing this, you'll be able to test to see if the WP_HTTP_Streams class running into a problem, or if it's purely related to your internet connecton speed.

I suggest to close as invalid. If the original reporter does provide feedback again, it could be re-opened.

[dd32]

In the event that the reporter doesnt report back, like in every other ticket, It'll be closed after reasonable time has been allowed for them to get back. There's no harm in leaving it for longer than 48hours.

Whilst there's no harm in having someone re-open a ticket, I feel its kinder to people who don't understand the ins-and-outs of tickets to leave it open for as long as reasonably possible.

One example of why I take this approach, is a Well known Australian ISP will leave a ticket open forever if you do not specifically close it, Another ISP closes the ticket as soon as they've replied to it, putting the onus back on the ticket opener to re-open the ticket if they still require help. As you can probably guess, Many users of the latter ISP will complain their ticket was just closed without any thought or explanation, whilst users of the first will always mention their ISP is great, because they are willing to help them out as long as they're having the problem. It all comes down to perception & timing.
