What issue or error are you experiencing?
Previously, LocalWP was working perfectly on my Apple Silicon Mac Mini. However, it will no longer work, with it getting stuck towards the end of any download.
For example, updating via the app to LocalWP 9.0.3 would get stuck and not finish, so I had to download the newest version from the website and replace it.
Whenever LocalWP tries to download anything, it just gets stuck a few MB before the download finishes. E.G. PHP 7.4.30 would get stuck at 29MB out of 35MB.
This prevents me creating any sites other than the ‘Preferred’ option where everything it needs is already downloaded.
No other developer tools other than Visual Studio Code are installed. Everything worked perfectly fine prior to recent MacOS and LocalWP updates. Last worked around March time.
Completely reinstalling LocalWP makes no difference, even when deleting the Application and all Application Support files.
Attempted a possible fix suggested in another thread where you create a site and then let it fail and manually download WordPress and pop it into the site files and then supposedly creating new sites should work as normal going forward, but this did not work.
In the error logs, after I cancel the download because it’s stuck, it does throw an error: {“class”:“DownloaderQueue”,“level”:“error”,“message”:“error when trying to download https://cdn.localwp.com/site-services-lightning/php/7.4.30+6/bin-darwin-7.4.30.tar.gz",“thread”:“main”,“timestamp”:"2024-06-02T11:34:18.363Z”}
However, if I access that URL directly, the file downloads perfectly fine in my browser.
There is also the following error: {“class”:“LightningServicesService”,“level”:“error”,“message”:“network timeout at: https://getflywheel.github.io/local-lightning-services/site-services-v2.json",“stack”:"FetchError: network timeout at: https://getflywheel.github.io/local-lightning-services/site-services-v2.json\n at Timeout. (%%appPath%%/node_modules/node-fetch/lib/index.js:1484:13)\n at listOnTimeout (node:internal/timers:569:17)\n at process.processTimers (node:internal/timers:512:7)”,“thread”:“main”,“timestamp”:“2024-06-02T10:29:37.377Z”,“type”:“request-timeout”}
But again, when I access this URL directly, it works perfectly fine.
What steps can be taken to replicate the issue? Feel free to include screenshots, videos, etc
Create a new site with custom configuration and choose a PHP version that requires downloading
OR
Wait for a LocalWP update and attempt to install the update when prompted.

Security Reminder
Local does a pretty good job of scrubbing private info from the logs and the errors it produces, however there’s always the possibility that something private can come through. Because these are public forums, always review the screenshots you are sharing to make sure there isn’t private info like passwords being displayed.
