I'd like to manually upgrade the Multilingual CMS in my dev environment

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
If you're trying to manually upgrade the Multilingual CMS in your development environment and facing issues due to a weak local connection that causes the upgrade process to hang and fail, setting your site in maintenance mode.
Solution:
We recommend downloading the latest version of the plugin from the Downloads section of your WPML.org account. After downloading, manually install the ZIP file on your site. For detailed instructions on how to manually update the plugin, please visit this guide.
