Checking for an update failed

Why this message : « Checking for an update failed. » when I try to update Openoffice ?

I didn’t find any information in the Openoffice forum, but I think it’s a known problem because many people are complaining on the internet.

As I posted once before, I saw a post that said the “update” action on OpenOffice is broken.  I have resorted to just navigating to the download page periodically and checking to see if a new version exists on the download page , downloading and installing if their is a new version.  The new version installs seamlessly if you install it to the same or the default location on your computer.  Settings are kept.
