I had the same problem, and was due to a proxy server issue. At a command
prompt, just type:
proxycfg -u

After that, the updates started working with no problem!

Hello Michael Gora,
I don't even know if you are still on this site, it's totally off
topic, I hope the moderator will forgive me, but I'm looking for my
long lost cousin, who's name is also Michael Gora, lives in Germany, he
is in his late 20s and his mother's name is Sabina. If you are by ANY
CHANCE that M.G., please send me an email at .
If you are the "wrong" Michael then sorry for the "disturbance".

greetings,
zsuzsi
