if I have internet , it proceeds to download 380.9 kilobytes of JSON to check for a new version. Please remove this from the --info command as it makes this very difficult to use off grid.

I think it would be useful to add a --skip-version-check option.
However... the version check method has a timeout of 5s, so something else might be going on there too.
