[QUOTE="leok7v, post: 1209222, member: 196547"] [b]"Definitely NOTHING shady going on there"[/b] Zipeg checks for updates every month and once a month only. It reads a single update.txt files from www zipeg com downloads location and does nothing else. If you want, you are welcome to check out the source code for the update on zipeg.googlecode.com it is Open Source Software after all. And you can turn check for updates off in Zipeg preferences and Zipeg will never touch the internet again. Every time you start you Mac or even slide open your iPhone it sends hundreds of packets all around the world. You don't call is "shady" or do you? Do you use Apple Software Updates? Mac App Store? iTunes? They all do collect personal info and none of them is open source - just to be on the fair side. Please verify you facts before you spook other people. Sincerely yours Leo the Zipeg shepherd. [/QUOTE]
