I have a strange feeling that MatthewRuddy is correct… This is because even after increasing the timeout to 60, I can search for plugins but not install them… the server is painfully slow… Let us wait and hear from WordPress!

hi In2itioN, did you try what I have given above? This is differen, try and see..

Hi Guys this is what I found and it is working for wordpress 3.3

Thanks tophertopher it worked with me in wordpress 3.2.1

Thanks to Member tophertopher:

Edit file plugin-install.php
in directory wp-admin/includes
and find the timeout setting. It is by default set to 15. Increase to 60.
$request = wp_remote_post(‘https://api.www.ads-software.com/plugins/info/1.0/’, array( ‘timeout’ => 60, ‘body’ => array(‘action’ => $action, ‘request’ => serialize($args))) );

NB: you will not find this in http.php file as this is version 3.3
Hope it works for you guys

I also has this problem, I am using the default theme. I am using 3.3 and previously I had no problem until I updated to 3.3
