The Sparkle updater is indeed the only automatic connection to the internet. But I find it a bit unexpected, because the appcast is downloaded in asynchronously, so it shouldn't block. I also cannot reproduce it. Maybe the problem is that Sparkle starts too early checking, before the app may be fully set up. Anyway, hopefully this will be improved in the next release, because I just upgraded Sparkle to the latest version, and this uses different logic and code for starting and downloading.
