I keep getting the error below, on all modules I attempt to install via MagentoConnect.  Is there a manual download option for the Modern Theme?

Exception caught:

Warningpopen() has been disabled for security reasons in /home/mywebsite/public_html/downloader/pearlib/php/OS/Guess.php on line 247

Your host has disable certain php functions required. I’d like to know if there is a manual install as well but I doubt it. From what I’ve seen you would have to edit a large number of files manually in addition to uploading an exploded version of the theme archive. You might request a copy of the install script from the developer which would show you which files to edit but if you’re not able to read code I wouldn’t bother.
