It sounds like it's not the _curnit_ that's phoning home, but rather Molecular Workbench trying to reload its model, which is a remote resource. Model files aren't being cached at all right now, if I remember correctly. I'm not sure what it would take to be able to cache them. I think the same problem extends to other model types, like NetLogo, as well.
