A problem has been detected with your web server that may cause your login to fail – if it does, click back and read the rest of this message. Some servers are poorly configured, and invisibly redirect traffic from one URL to another, and this invisible redirection results in lost submitted form data. Try changing your base URL in the config editor so that it contains www. then come back to this URL (make sure to refresh the page) and try again. There can be other causes, such as your server blocking web requests to itself. If problems persist, contact your webhost.

- If my reply is too Vulcan or expressed too much in business-strategy terms, and not particularly personal, I apologise. As a company & project maintainer, time is very limited to me, so usually when I write a reply I try and make it generic advice to all readers. I'm also naturally a joined-up thinker, so I always express my thoughts in combined business and technical terms. I recognise not everyone likes that, don't let my Vulcan-thinking stop you enjoying Composr on fun personal projects.
- If my response can inspire a community tutorial, that's a great way of giving back to the project as a user.

There were/are 3 distinct issues here…
- The PHP curl extension was not installed. I've installed it for you.
- PHP has this very weird bug regarding setting HTTP headers that was making the non-curl downloader fail for your server. I've never seen that one before. But installing curl removes this problem.
- There seems to be some kind of queue or rate-limit on the server that still makes some of the HTTP calls to itself time out after 6 seconds. You can probably just ignore this problem. It's like 1 in 5 attempts. Composr doesn't need to download from itself except in a few special situations.
