| | Posted: | | | | Just a guess, but that's where all the profiles are stored, so in order for you to add DVDs to your collection, it would need to be connected to the Internet. | | | What James Knows

that's it probably, but then again it just tries to download the profile list anyways, no matter if one is online or not... what good is a check if the result isn't used? | | | | - Jan |

If those files are present it stops trying to download? I think. | | | | Sources for one or more of the changes and/or additions were not submitted.

| | Posted: | | | | the files are present and a collection is loaded, it's my normal running installation
I only noticed it today because my network cable wasn't plugged into my notebook, it tried to open a connection. Kinda irritating to tell the truth because there just isn't a good reason to do so.
I don't think it's checking for updates either cause I never got such a notice in the past. | | | | - Jan |
