 * Well I got a cable and tried that, but alas that didn’t work either. The fact
   that it is also happening to the other site I look after, which is on the same
   hosting plan, I think could be suggesting it could be their servers. It doesn’t
   happen on my partners wordpress site which is hosted with a different company.
 * Think we have exhausted enough avenues to throw it back at my hosting provider!
 * Thanks again for all you help.

 * Ok, thanks so much for all your help. I need to actually go out and buy one, 
   so will do that and report back. Hope it is as simple as that!

 * 5 or 6 things, but nothing different to what I have had for the last year (havent
   had this problem until the weekend). I upgraded all out kit in July with new 
   Apple Airport Extreme router, plus we have 100mbps connection.
 * My Mac is the only one on the 5Ghz connection.
 * I don’t know much about this side of things, so I don’t mess with to much and
   nothing recently.

 * Yes.
 * I just check another wordpress website I manage that is on exactly the same server
   setup, seems that one is also having the same problem.
 * Perhaps you have identified the problem? What is it?

 * Hi lapsanders,
 * Did as you suggested, added a new theme, deleted Twenty Thirteen theme, then 
   tried to install Twenty Thirteen, but went back to same issue I had before of“
   An unexpected error occurred. Something may be wrong with WordPress.org or this
   server’s configuration. If you continue to have problems, please try the support
   forums.”
 * So I then uploaded it via the upload field in the Themes, all went fine. I was
   able to download one plugin, but then when I tried to download another I ended
   up with the same error message again.
 * Is this sounding like it has a lot to do with my server provider? Is it a memory
   issue?
 * I am using a business cloud shared hosting platform.

 * Hi Krishna,
 * Thanks for taking the time to respond.
 * – No plugins are activated
    – Theme is already Twenty Thirteen theme – Ran the
   manual upgrade, but the site is already up to date.
 * This site is straight out of the box, I haven’t installed any plugins or themes
   yet, that is what I am trying to start.
 * Any thoughts? as mentioned, I hassled my hosting provider but they swear blind
   it isn’t them.
 * Thanks
 * Dan
