title: Intellij check for updates: unable to connect
body: <p>The following screenshot has been showing up for several days now.  Are other people seeing this?</p>
  
  <p>Note: to be sure it were not a general connection error, in addition to being able to post this sof message i did a github pull. That is a solid indication that my network proxies have been properly disabled: and it worked fine. So the message is puzzling.</p>
