Downloading update from http://wordpress.org/wordpress-2.8.zip
Unpacking the core update

I have the same problem :(

The http replacement doesn't work.

It's quite strange here, other sites on the same server are updating properly. Except the most important site.... :(
Upgrade manually. It's not difficult. The automatic upgrade is a convenience thing only, it's not always going to work everywhere.

I was having the same problem. Turns out I had maxed out the storage space I had acquired on the server my site is hosted on. Noob mistake, I know...
It's working now.
@Otto
yeah.. what about plugins.. it could get pretty bad quickly if you have multiple blogs with plugins.
having to FTP to upload plugins especially with the virus scare (Gumblar)

You should also check your webspace. I had this with a customer's upgrade, and it was right on the edge . . . I gave him a few more MB server space and all was fine.

In my case this error was not a result of a bug at all. It was because as a few above has said, I had maxed out the storage space on my host. I originally tried to upgrade a wordpress version on http://DailyNewsGuide.com and then I tried to simply upgrade various plug-ins on http://BankFly.com and always received the error above. Going into WHM on hostgator and increasing my packages quote resolved the issue immediately. I wanted to thank everyone on this post for help!

Hello, I had the same problem since 2.8.2, and I solved it by commenting out mbstring.func_overload in my php.ini file:
; mbstring.func_overload = 7
Upgrades and uploads worked perfectly after that.

I can confirm that by increasing the storage limit that error goes away...
cheers!

I am having the same problem, both with upgrading wordpress and plugins. I have enough space on my server to do the upgrading, but I do not have a 'php.ini' file. Would someone please clarify this?
Thanks

I simply and successfully manually installed it (ftp folder to plug-ins folder), then avtivated it (using WP ver 2.9.2).

I was able to manually update to WP 2.9.2 on a machine I have local rights to, but then I turned on FTP temporarily and confirmed I could write to the wordpress folders using a stand alone FTP client. The volume has over 40GB free, so it's not a space issue. I get exactly this under 2.9.2 on said machine:
Downloading install package from http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/(everything I've tried that says it should work w/2.9.2, so far)....
Unpacking the package.
Installing the plugin.
Incompatible Archive
Plugin Install Failed.
Actions: Return to Plugin Installer
my php.ini has already got the line quoted above commented out, assuming that commented out means it has a ";" at the beginning of the line, like all of the other commented out lines... ;)
Thoughts all?

I downloaded a zipfile for a new theme I want to add to my WordPress blog. When I go to upload it into WP I get the following message:
Incompatible archive: PCLZIP_ERR_BAD_FORMAT (-10) : Unable to find End of Central Dir Record signature
I am a novice at this stuff so this error message has really thrown me. Thx

SOLUTION - SOLUCIÓN
English
I have the solution. Download and decompress the zip file, then recompress [only all files and folders within ZIP file] and upload it to /wp-content/plugins/
ESPAÑOL
Descarga, descomprime, comprime, sube, i eso es todo, solo asegúrate de comprimir no una carpeta sino los archivos [y carpetas] que están dentro del archivo ZIP

PD:
At least that worked for me.
Oh, I forgot, do not put special compression features, otherwise the same thing will happen
-------
Al menos eso funcionó para mi.
Ah, me olvidaba no pongan características especiales de compresión, si no ocurrirá lo mismo.

Hi,
For persons getting this error you need to increase the space available to your client on your web server. I had this problem because I had given my client 50 mb and they uploaded a few pictures to their gallery. After I increased the space all issues were resolved
