As Norbert mentioned, there are no more updates to TL2009, so if you installed
it from the network (as opposed to a DVD or disk image), it is no real problem
that updates don't work. However, some of the warnings you get are intriguing.

Can you please give us the output of "tlmgr --version" and the version of the
gui as given by "Help -> About"?

This does not necessarily indicate a problem, unless followed by other error
messages. tlmgr is trying one method to connect to the server, this method
doesn't work, then it says it will be trying another one ("retrying with wget"
at the end of the quoted output). If the next method works, you'll see no other
message.
