Well, I found the problem.

Starting software-center from the terminal resulted in this output:

nicolas@nicolas-laphp-lin:~$ software-center
2012-04-15 17:28:52,199 - softwarecenter.ui.gtk3.app - INFO - setting up proxy 'http://proxy.exa.unicen.edu.ar:8080/'
2012-04-15 17:28:52,203 - softwarecenter.db.database - INFO - open() database: path=None use_axi=True use_agent=True

The problem is that I have the proxy set to "None" in the network options (I used that proxy in the past in my university campus). I needed to set the proxy to Manual, empty the proxies fields and select Apply System-wide (or similar, I have Ubuntu in Spanish) in order to the Software center to actually use no proxy.

Is this a bug in the Software Center or in the network options? I don't have this problem in any other app.
