It used to be that when you started poster, it displayed an hour glass for say 5 seconds. At the end of this time, you were either told a new version was available, or you gained control to do your thing.

Since Friday, this period is now 30-45 seconds, and it's quite annoying. Is poster having trouble making an internet connection to your server? Is this a timeout period? Please make it stop.

I have version 4.05

I think the problem may have been on this end. I'll monitor the situation a few days and see if it's cleared up. If not, I'll file.
