If you are connecting to GitHub to do version checking I'd recommend not wasting your time with other solutions. We'll have an API for checking versions on the plugin store pretty soon.

Yes - as I said, we'll be offering a version check against the plugin store for those that are having Github issues. Obviously it doesn't solve other issues.
