Same error after upgrading to 2.8. It’s a bug of this version. I found the solution here, this is how:
Replace wp-includes/http.php with this.

You could put your email in the “Add to Cc:” field on that ticket.

The http replacement doesn’t work.

It’s quite strange here, other sites on the same server are updating properly. Except the most important site…. 🙁

Upgrade manually. It’s not difficult. The automatic upgrade is a convenience thing only, it’s not always going to work everywhere.

I was having the same problem. Turns out I had maxed out the storage space I had acquired on the server my site is hosted on. Noob mistake, I know…

It’s working now.

@otto

yeah.. what about plugins.. it could get pretty bad quickly if you have multiple blogs with plugins.

having to FTP to upload plugins especially with the virus scare (Gumblar)

You should also check your webspace. I had this with a customer’s upgrade, and it was right on the edge . . . I gave him a few more MB server space and all was fine.
