Why is the program making a connection to 212.227.127.74 ?

The IP 212.227.127.74 refers to ch-software.de (you can check this with ping ch-software.de).
The connection is used to check if there is a new version of PopMan available (version information is stored in http://www.ch-software.de/popman/updateinfo.dat ).

Wouldn't it be possible to include the beta versions in this check? Of course, the best option would be an option to "Check for beta versions also" ?

In fact the beta notification is already working (if PopMan.exe is a beta, it also checks for Beta updates), I just didn't update the version info file.
I will do so with the next Beta... :)

Is there a way to disable the automatic update check?

It is not possible to disable the automatic update check in the current version, but I may add such a setting in one of the next versions, if desired...

Although it is no big problem I would really appreciate if you implemented such a setting in a future version. Thanks in advance.
