    Site always hangs when installing. Other plugins 
   still install. I got jetpack.tmp to jetpack20.tmp all 8412kb Once it got to the
   next page and said some file was missing or whatever inside jetpack folder
 * now
    Unpacking the package…
 * Could not copy file. jetpack/languages/jetpack-sq.po

 * Could you check if the plugin works, and check how much space you have left on
   your hosting plan? Such errors often indicate that the plugin was updated successfully,
   but some of the language files were not copied because there wasn’t enough space
   left on disk.
 * If that’s the case, you’ll want to contact your hosting provider about this issue,
   before you start experiencing similar issues when uploading images or other documents
   to your Media Library.
 * I hope this helps.

 * It happened again on the current update. On 1 site it worked, the 2nd it failed.
   Seems like WP has problems writing to filesystem and/or changing file perms.
   
   eg ” failed to open stream”
 * Host swears no changes to system made. Nothing in php log. What else can I check?

 * Do you experience issues when installing manually, as explained here:

 * I haven’t done that, but I have uploaded the zip using the WP interface. That
   failed in the same way.
 * It all happened after the 4.2 auto-update, so it’s either changes in that or 
   something in the host.

 * I’m afraid using the WordPress interface won’t help here, as the burden is still
   on your host to unzip the file and move it to the plugins folder. If you do things
   yourself via FTP, you shouldn’t run into any issues.

 * I very much want to have proof that it is the host issue. I see no errors in 
   the php log, what can I do? The host is unhelpful and always claims it’s not 
   their fault, and suggests I pay a few 100 for them to diagnose the problem.

 * You could ask you hosting provider about the max file size you are allowed to
   unzip, and see if the Jetpack zip file is larger than this.

 * The limit is 128MB.
    WP updates install automatically, they’d be bigger than 
   JP?

 * That should be more than enough. Jetpack’s latest version is 5.7MB, including
   all translation files. In comparison, WordPress itself is 6.9MB (without the 
   translation files).
 * Could you let me know if you experience the same issue next time you update Jetpack?

 * I have confirmed that the issue is with the host Panthur. Once I moved to another
   host immediately everything can be updated with no problems.
