Comment(by dd32):

 > When installing a plugin in the dashboard: "Unable to locate WordPress
 Content directory (wp-content)."

 The Filesystem-related errors are unavoidable, the FTP extension just
 doesnt work, (directory listing fails every time), and the Sockets
 extension isnt available.

 Other than cURL failing 50/50 still.. Which seems to be it timing out
 after 10 seconds of no data recieved.. Hardly something WordPress should
 have to deal with (waiting incredibly long for a response)..
