<p>Craft does use cURL to connect to web services at buildwithcraft.com and there is a 30 second timeout if there is no response from our end.</p>

<p>It will then cache that there was a connection error and not attempt to call home again for the next 5 minutes.</p>

<p>If there is a cURL configuration problem, then check your <code>craft/storage/runtime/logs</code> folder for any <code>[error]</code> or <code>[warning]</code> entries and it will tell you what the error message is.</p>

<p>I do craft development on a local setup (using a virtual .dev host). The one very annoying issue I experienced is a large latency (~10s) I get while using the backend – f.e. saving an fresh entry or creating a new field. The latency vanishes as soon as I disconnect from the internet. Is there any "call home" function build into craft that causes the delay?</p>

Welcome to the neighborhood, m9dfukc! It might help to add a bit of detail about your local setup, since there a lot of factors in play here and the problem may not expressly relate to calls home.

If there is a cURL configuration problem, then check your `craft/storage/runtime/logs` folder for any `[error]` or `[warning]` entries and it will tell you what the error message is.
