Eac3to phones doom9, since when?

Today it was the first time I ran "eac3to -test" with version 3.24, and this is the warning displayed by my PC's firewall:

'audio conversion tool' from your computer wants to connect to
c-a376e655.024-44-73746f50.cust.bredbandsbolaget.se
[85.230.118.163], port 80

To the best of my memory, the previous versions of eac3to never did that.
:confused: :confused: :confused:

yes, but now it checks for latest available versions of for example nero aac encoder and do those checks online.

Here is the network communication I captured while "eac3to.exe -test" was running:

- All Traffic
- My Traffic
- eac3to.exe (6108)
- IPv4 (192.168.123.1 - 85.230.118.163) ConvID = 38

HTTP (GET /videotools/mkvtoolnix/downloads.html ) ConvID = 66
Other Traffic

Apparently eac3to grabs version information from these web-sites in order to check for updates.

So nothing to be worried about :)

Thanks for the explanations. :)

Still, my PC's firewall will keep denying network access to eac3to —

— after all, I *am* paranoid :devil: :D
