Startup Delay if not connected to Internet

[kilgore]

I'm new here, so first of all: UMS works great with my Philips BluRay-Player and Mac.
Second: Since I can't tell if this is a Mac-specific issue, I post it here too:

There is something I don't quite understand: If not connected to the Internet, it takes about a minute, before UMS even tries to start. Little Snitch tells me UMS wants to connect to "www.spirton.com" and (sooner or later after denying this) to "www.universalmediaserver.com".

Why does that happen even before the actual program starts? The first timestamp in "debug.log" without internet connection is exactly this "minute" later?

If the Mac is connected to the Internet, UMS starts right away, even though both connections were blocked.

So: Is there a way to get rid of this 1-Minute-Delay?
