themes Error during theme import

[eyeforeye_rhino]

Hi Everyone, 

I'm kind of a newbie on using prestashop, as I usually go for woocommerce (do not hate me). I'm trying to add a preexisting theme that i exported from a website and I'm trying to deal with this error that shows up in my administration panel: "The file size exceeds the size allowed by the server. The limit is set to 8 MB."

To work around this problem i added these three lines on my htaccess file start:

php_value upload_max_filesize 16M
php_value post_max_size 16M
php_value memory_limit 128M

After doing this it continues giving me an error that this time says: "Error during zip extraction" (this was showed up in italian and i translated it in my poor english, sorry btw)

So i tried adding my zip in /themes folder and going for the ftp method and it gives me the same second error.

what should i can try, beside throwing my laptop by the window?

I'm using 1.6.1.24 version and the site is local based with XAMPP
