@clechasseur commented on GitHub (Nov 20, 2023):

Apparently, this is a GitHub IP address: https://ipinfo.io/185.199.109.133

This is most likely the automatic update check that verifies if there's a new version. It downloads an update file to check what is the latest version and that file is hosted on GitHub.

If you want, you can disable the automatic update check and it should stop trying to download the file.
