Monticello goes fetching a unique number in the previous version of a given package on Smallatkhub and that means requiring network access.

Why is it so?

I was working without network access and this bite me.

I was able to get out of trouble with my Phone as an access point.

But for some scenarios (w/ security and no external network access) this is really a pain.

Also, the fact that I had to do a Cmd-. to get out of this is annyoying.

Clues?
