[pdftex] Bug report - pdflatex hangs when internet connection is on

[Antonio DiCesare]

Dear All,

I'm using TeXLive 2016. When I run pdflatex (both from command line and using TeXworks) it hangs about 20-30 seconds before the compilation starts.

It happens only when the internet connection is active. When internet is off, the compilation starts immediately.

I am willing to provide you with any detail you may need.

Hope you can help to solve this boring issue.

Kind regards,
Antonio.
