Can you install this plugin, Activate it, And then send the debug page(Top menu page: "WP Filesystem Tester") to my email? [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If you've allready got it installed, Download it again, i make modifications to it every few days.

Until we do the release, would it be possible to get this debug stuff in core to help people out? This is the part of 2.5 I'm most worried about.

Rightly so...

If I may add a few cents, I've set up something along those lines for Semiologic last year, and it took me well over a month of intensive testing between the initial RC and the release.

For reference, the key buggers I bumped into and the workaround I ended up using:

1. Some hosts time out during FTP.

- forbid safe_mode (can't override the time limit)
- set time limit to 0 (i.e. no time limit)

2. Some hosts shut down sites due to massive CPU usage because of FTP library

- every so many files (e.g. after each each folder), sleep a few seconds
- do the same after each key step, e.g. after grabbing the zip, after unzipping it, before cleaning things up

3. To clean up deleting from the shell (rm -Rf) is many times faster and less intensive than recursively calling unlink and rmdir from php

Points 1 and 2 is still more or less unresolved as I write. They occasionally breaks a site now and then, forcing the user to upgrade manually.

@dd32: just send me an email if you need the source code I wrote a few months back.
