I tried to get some error, but in fact wget or curl failed correctly for some
case. I can enhance this behaviour by specifying a given limit to avoid too many
retries of connection, but it could be better to configure wget directly (by
default wget will retry 20 times before stoping attempt).
If you still have the problem, please use curl instead (it could help) with
--curl option.

It starts searching for updates and these messages appear on the terminal:

1) As can be seen, it tried to connect 17 times (over a period of 2 minutes). There is
no option
in mcc to set a limit to the number of connection attempts.
2) Whats as bad as 1) is that the pop up window which asks to start searching for
updates,
goes blank when the update search is on. This means, even it had a button "stop search
now"
it will not be visible. In other words, there is no way to stop this search.
Killing mcc is the only way.
