I want up2date to work mostly so I can have a mostly hands-off approach to keeping my system up to date ... or up2date as the branding implies ;)
So yeah using wget was a good call - apparently some machinery here works with HTTP_PROXY and some with http_proxy, which was news to me. Setting them both up with a simplified hostname to the proxy seems to be working, I am going to but those declarations in /etc/profile and see if everything starts to work.

There was some sort of I/O error: <urlopen error (-2, 'Name or service not known')>
can you use wget to download something after exporting $http_proxy?
also, why not use yum? it always worked with me when i used $http_proxy
