Using sudo netstat -tanp I caught

tcp 0 0 {Mythtv_FE_IP}:56679     207.171.166.140:80      ESTABLISHED 7093/python

tcp 0 0 {Mythtv_FE_IP}:45477     67.152.32.114:80        ESTABLISHED 7093/python



I probably could have confirmed the same from the numerous firewall state entries such as

{Mythtv_FE_IP}:56699 -> {My_Static_IP}:57138 -> 207.171.166.140:80 FIN_WAIT_2:FIN_WAIT_2

As one might deduce from the above there were numerous ports used for this....

Seems to support my initial suggestion as to cause.

I am not sure I/we need this download set every hour?
