Forgive me, but I'm an old man with very poor vision. Using my magnifying glass, I see it is two very long URLs ending with something like after the blah-blah: < ... akametechnology.com>

More precisely, these two IP addresses: 23.59.190.113:80 23.59.190.106:80

So:

C:\Code>ping -a 23.59.190.113

Pinging a23-59-190-113.deploy.static.akamaitechnologies.com [23.59.190.113] with 32 bytes of data: ... C:\Code>ping -a 23.59.190.106

Pinging a23-59-190-106.deploy.static.akamaitechnologies.com [23.59.190.106] with 32 bytes of data:

So it's just Akamai caching content. Common as mud. Can't say specifically what was being cached, but it could be that your ISP contracts with Akamai.

My firewall didn't complain when I installed 3.4.0b2 on Windows.

I don't use the Windows firewall, and I have mine sent to block all apps connecting in or out unless I make specific rules for them. I have never authorized C:/Windows/System32/msiexec.exe to connect in or out (and it didn't ;-) ).

Same here on both counts. We're getting nowhere with admirable speed ;-)
