I am having the same problems. I have been trying to install the buddypress plugin for three days. Any other plugin installs fine. Buddypress will not install. I have not found a solutionyet. I have tried everything. This should not be so hard. Buddypress is not my buddy.
I deleted all other plugins and it still will not work. I try to add BuddyPress plugin and it begins with this message:
Downloading install package from https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/buddypress.1.2.4.1.zip.
Unpacking the package.
But nothing happens.
I also had this problem. Installing the plugin from WordPress is not working. I downloaded the zip and am going to try to upload using ftp later today.
