SUMMARY *** NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug symbols. See https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports *** STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Install global theme or theming component from settings app "get more" 2. 3. OBSERVED RESULT slow download thru settings app, sometimes error, sometimes settings app crash - seems to be proportional to download size EXPECTED RESULT Install global theme or theming component SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS I distro hop a lot and this behavior happens in many different distros with the Plasma desktop environment- same problem whether the distro is on bare metal or a guest in Virtualbox ADDITIONAL INFORMATION This may be a specific connection error problem when the settings app downloads from KDE servers. I have had this issue in many different distros with Plasma for years on multiple different desktop PCs. I have a fairly old Arris router with my Spectrum internet which may be involved. Possibly an issue between the network manager and KDE servers that only occurs within the settings app. Internet connection works perfectly everywhere in the OS except when installing new theming from KDE.org from the settings app. Oddly, this issue does not happen in Fedora Workstation with the KDE/ Plasma desktop. I am a newbie, so please be patient with my lack of proper bug reporting skills.

I thought I supplied the requested info in my reply on 2021-12-10 15:29:46 UTC. PLEASE simplify and automate bug reporting. Not everyone that uses Linux is an IT professional with lots of education and experience in/ with Linux. An automated error reporting pop-up after an error/ crash would be WONDERFUL.
Ah, you forgot to change the status back to REPORTED after adding the backtrace. Either way thanks for the backtrace. Looks like this is a duplicate of Bug 439797439797 > An automated error reporting pop-up after an error/ crash would be WONDERFUL. We have one of those. I'm surprised it didn't appear here. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 439797 ***
