    I can't seem to download any packages or addons in the new MODX Revolution..

    It just says "Downloading" forever

    Anyone know how I can go about fixing this?

    Thank you

            The MODX version is 2.3.1 Revolution and the PHP version is 5.4.

            As far as the other information, how could I go about getting that? I know it uses cPanel Accelerated. I tried looking in there for server specs but couldn't find anything

                I can not find any of these pages, are they not in cPanel?

                  It's in MODX itself - go top menu Manage -> Reports -> System Information

                      When I last had this issue it was permissions based - the user running modx didn't have write permission to the packages folder.

                      Although from memory it can also be a cURL thing where the MODX manager thinks it's going to download something so you see the modal on click of Download, but the connection is never established. Have you talked to your web host?
