That shouldn't prevent you using a local mirror though. Does it prevent
you using a local mirror?

Well, a command line 'off' switch will do the job. It will require
conscious decision.. yep, I'm happy with that.

It can go in the next release, which currently has:
* post install logging
* Pierre's new security updates
* New icon sizes
* resizable chooser (? if we get the split out patches in the next week
or so)

slated for it.
