 * Hello there,
 * i’ve used this plugin before and after a few minor startup-problems it worked
   great!
    Thanks again for the support then! I now am trying to migrate to a different
   location/host. iv’e backedup on the original location, but when i try to restore
   on my new server i get this message: ——— The plugin encountered an error while
   downloading the zip file,the following error message was returned: Error Message:
   socket error: 111
 * Temporary files created in /home/vhosts/domain/httpdocs/wp-content/wpclone-tempwill
   be deleted.
    ———
 * Do you have any thoughts on how to fix this and get it working? Hope to hear 
   from you soon, looking forward to your response and hope you can help me with
   a solution.
 * Thanks in advance!
    Greets

 * looks like your host is blocking external http requests, do a [manual upload](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/restore-issues#post-4200582),
   that would bypass the file download.
    by the way,who’s your host?
