 * This Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /home/threemo2/
   public_html/wp-includes/class-http.php on line 1402 is driving me nuts. I have
   other sites with no absolutely no problem, and have had them for a couple of 
   years. I set up a new site for my step-daughter through Jost Host today and can’t
   download anything when I’m in the site: Upgrade to 3.0.1; Various WP e-commerce
   Plug-ins; anything that I try using downloading for. Only have Akismet and WP
   e-commerce plug-ins in my plug-in section. Please, I need help so that I can 
   move forward with this site.

 * If you’re seeing this error either suddenly (no specific task was done to cause
   the error) or frequently, try deactivating all plugins to rule-out a plugin-specific
   issue and try switching themes to rule-out a theme-specific issue.
 * Otherwise, try increasing PHP’s maximum execution time in php.ini. Ex: `max_execution_time
   = 600 ;`
 * If that doesn’t work, ask your hosting provider to temporarily increase PHP’s
   maximum execution time.

 * Edit the `php.ini` file and add this line:
 * `max_execution_time = 600 ;`
 * If that doesn’t work, or you don’t have access to your `php.ini` file, ask your
   hosting provider to temporarily increase PHP’s maximum execution time.
