Anyway, Heres an alpha release of a plugin i'm working on:
http://dd32.id.au/files/core-control.zip
* Activate that,
* Then head over to the "Core Control" options page,
* Activate the HTTP module & Updates module
* Head into the HTTP page (its up the top there)
* Click "Test" on the Primary transports, If one fails to work, Click
"Disable Transport" (most likely you'll do this to the cURL transport)
cURL: An Error has occured: name lookup timed out
I Disabled cURL
PHP fopen(): Successfully retrieved & verified document from

PHP fsockopen(): Successfully retrieved & verified document from
http://tools.dd32.id.au/wordpress/core-control.php
* See if the updates work properly:
With cURL disabled, I successfully auto-updated a plugin
* Now, Head into the Updates tab now (up the top again)
* Force an update check to occur for the plugins by clicking the
link (You
can do Themes/Core too if you so wish)
Plugin update check worked -- no new updated found.
(Incidentally, Update *check* has been working, just no the actual
auto-update on plugins
Report back with any errors that it throws up, Hopefully it might
shed some
light.
Just to repeat, That plugin is alpha, and not release quality, Its
UI needs
some work, and some of the modules code is horrible :) (Well..
actually its
bloody beautiful compared to some WP plugins I've seen recently...)
The plugin looks as though it has good potential for troubleshooting
and certain development tasks. (Actually the ability to "check for
update now" is going to help me with another thing I'm working on,
so... Cool! :-)

The problematic test server is running MAMP on Mac OS 10.5.6.
Plugin updates used to work fine. I'm pretty sure I was updating
even in
WP 2.7 (certainly in beta versions). I can't say what change might
have
triggered the error.

"Couldn't resolve host" means that its having DNS issues.. Now why
PHP
would have issues, yet browsers don't is odd.
Sounds like it could be a HTTP API issue with one of the
transports on
your computer..
I'll get back to you later with some way of listing them.. dont
have the
time to look it up right now, so unless someone else pops in and
tells you
what transports you're running.. :)

I get this error on my test setup in WP 2.7 any time I try to auto-
update
a
plugin:
Downloading update from
http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/some-plugin.2.1.zip
Download failed.: Couldn't resolve host 'downloads.wordpress.org'
Plugin upgrade Failed
