Well, i believe it is a bug in scrollkeeper or libxml2, which will download from the net the dtd that are not available, without prior asking. Other believe this is normal behavior though, and that the corresponding applications should ship the dtd they need, which is true, but still downloading from the net (and waiting a long time in case there is _no_ net connectivity) without asking prior concent _is_ buggy behavior. Anyway, in this case it seem (but i am no expert) that gnome-terminal and netspeed are the culprit here. You should fill bugs against them (and against libxml2 for not asking you before downloading).
