I think it is caused by the OPM (online package manager). WIth Lazarus
2.0.0RC3 Lazarus will honour the setting Never and Lazarus will not try to
connect to packages.lazarus-ide.org to download a list of available
packages.
The behaviour  is configurable in Lazarus. Please open OPM(/Lazarus ->
Menu-->Packages-->Online Package Manager/), then go to /Options-->Check
> for Package Updates/ and select /Never/
