Do not automatically check for updates in metered networks

Open DeepChirp opened this issue 2 years ago • 5 comments

Describe the enhancement or feature you'd like Use API to detect whether the current network is billing by traffic, and if so, do not automatically check for updates. However, a switch can be added to allow users to automatically check for updates under a metered network.

At the same time, I believe that when checking for updates in a metered network, users should be reminded that this may incur additional fees.

Describe alternatives you've considered None

Additional context None

Great idea

I'm not really sure why this would be necessary? The update check retrieves a 367 bytes (!!!!!!) object at worst once every 24 hours if ADM update is set to every day and the "check on startup" option is disabled.

If a metered connection billing is dependent on 367 bytes I think there's a different problem. You're usually connecting to the internet to do stuff, and a single HTTP request is often already larger than that.

Perhaps it's possible not to automatically download updates in metered networks.
