It's always been daily checks, but not checking for nightly builds. The  
check isn't expensive, the downloads are. Checking daily, but downloading  
the releases every few months doesn't hurt.

We didn't expect/plan this to be so popular with the advanced users  
running nightlies. It was rather support who wanted users to be up to date  
with the latest official releases. We'll have to see whether we still want  
to allow for nightly checks. Maybe we'll make it a feature during heavy  
testing periods.
