Title:
  hydrogen 100% network usage

Status in hydrogen package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I have recently noticed that when hydrogen starts it tries to connect
  to the internet and keeps trying continuously the entire time it is
  running. As a result other applications such as firefox, apt, synaptic
  have great difficulty connecting to the internet and apt and synaptic
  are unable to download updates and other packages.

  The only reason I noticed this is that I can now see my router and dsl
  modem lights. I start hydrogen and they flash like crazy. I stop
  hydrogen and they stop. Generally when using hydrogen other internet
  using applications are not used and I could not see my router/modem
  lights so this probably went unnoticed for a long time.

  There is no way to stop this behavior other than closing hydrogen.
  I suspect there is some internet address that cannot be found coded into a continuous loop in the source somewhere. If that is the case this could be a serious security vulnerability. 

  I have confirmed this behavior in hydrogen standard repository
  packages Ubuntustudio amd64 in Hardy, Intrepid and Jaunty.

  If you need any more information/help, please let me know.
