   It sounds like your new host may have banned access to some server functionality.

   Prior to WordPress 3.0
   Edit file http.php in directory wp-includes and find the http timeout setting. It is by default set to 5. Increase to 30 or 60.
   'timeout' => apply_filters( 'http_request_timeout', 60);

   WordPress 3.0 and after
   Edit file plugin-install.php in directory wp-admin/includes and find the timeout setting. It is by default set to 15. Increase to 60.
   $request = wp_remote_post('http://api.wordpress.org/plugins/info/1.0/', array( 'timeout' => 60, 'body' => array('action' => $action, 'request' => serialize($args))) );

   if your host does not allow fopen() then you need to change servers, this seems to be the proble with byte hosting
