> Yes, that is strange, and a very important point in figuring out the problem :).  I am able to connect to the utah repo, as well as ibiblio and purdue.  Do you have a proxy enabled in System Preferences, by chance? 

No, no proxies.

Yes, I can.

If this is useful, I had no problems with using TLU to upgrade packages (with TeX Live 2012) *before* the upgrade to Mountain Lion.
