In your settings.php file, put this line:

$conf['update_max_fetch_time'] = 60;

Manually running "Available Updates" produces the following error message
for "core" and each module and theme:

Failed to get available update data.

Not sure why this is suddenly happening. Worked like a charm in the past.

I looked online for help, and tried a few things (e.g., "flushed" the
'cache_update' table using 'phpmyadmin'). Still not working.
