# Cannot install Plugins Automatically

 * I have just started using WordPress and in the beginning the plugins used to 
   install automatically. But now whenever I try to load one it will only go to 
   the “Downloading” stage or (rarely) to the “Uncompressing” stage and then freeze.
   Then I have to clear the temp file out of my Plugins directory and resort to 
   installing it manually.
    Anyone else experiencing this or know how to resolve
   it?
 * Thanks
