 * I have exactly the same issue here
 * I thought that by upgrading to the new version “2.8.4”
    the problem would be 
   solved but I can´t upgrade like I used to

 * Again, I’ve having the same issue here. I’ve tried to update about 10 plugins
   and not update and give up the same error as posted above. I’m using version 
   2.8.4 and have attempted the core plugin fix but still not joy.
 * Please does anyone know how to fix this?

 * My plugins appear on the plugin page – but every one has ‘upgrade available” 
   message. Whe I attempt to auto upgrade I get the first part of the downloading
   updatemessage – through “unpacking” and that’s it. It just sits there- no message
   or action of any sort. And that’s on 7 of my 9 plugins. The exception is Feedwordpress
   which now just gives me an internal server error everytime I try to activate 
   it or upgrade it. Only All in One SEO pack worked. The display windows at the
   bottom of the Dashboard just say “Loading”
