Hi, I can reproduce also this behavior.
>From file name reads itself conclude, which has to do here this behavior with list to recent documents. If this list is deleted the dns-lookup and http/ftp querys are gone. (GMOME MENU > recent documents > list delete) I think ggv call at starting gnome vfs to determine state from all files. It does not play a role whether these documents with ggv was opened, all documents at this recent-list queried.
