 * I have recently attempted to upload a few plug ins through the Uploade Option
   and the upload is getting hung-up on “…unpacking plugin…” and it just hangs with
   this message.
 * Can’t find anything in forums.
 * Any help would be appreciated.
 * Thanks

 * I’m a newbie and could be offbase, but I have a couple suggestions:
 * 1. unpack the plugins before trying to upload them.
    2. Call your server’s support.
   I did that this morning and a HostGator tech guided me through the process of
   downloading free ftp software, activating it, and dragging the plugin folder 
   on my computer to the plugins folder on the ftp page.
 * Good luck.
