Well, it isn't that bandwidth intensive, these recent changes only cause extra (but tiny and potentially faster) requests to PyPI. We've also decided to update versions of packages only once a day unless user explicitly forced refreshing of packages list. If PyPI is not available for some reason, e.g. due to network problems, we merely don't show package versions, it won't break any other IDE functionality.

OT: I hope you're going to provide a setting to allow the user to disable this unnecessary and bandwith intensive 'feature'?

Subject: Re: [Distutils] PyPI index workaround
Right, sorry, that initial question wasn't clear about that.

We need the latest versions only for installed packages. Nonetheless, as you noted, it's still several dozens consecutive requests to "/simple/<package_name>" for each PyCharm session of every user.

Can you handle that?
