It *is* fetched daily with a scheduled task.
Do you want to get rid of it?
Open {db_prefix}admin_info_files and delete the row latest-packages.js. Gone and it will never return.
In the page you'll the "fetching" message and that's all.

Why is is so much trouble to just understand people want to get rid of it after all, without hacking into SMF?

Then why are they going in the package manager? :P

Yeah you have a point lol. But still we're not the only ones.

I'm giving you a simple way to get rid of it now without even touch the template.
If you don't want it I can delete my post.
It's the second time I've seen such request (first was from Ant... :P), so I have no idea if it is really a popular request or just the request of two people. ;)
For example I'm not annoyed by it because I open the package manager once every...oh heck I don't even remember the last time I opened the package manager of my on-line forum...oh yes, for the last patch, right...and BTW I have (almost) always javascript disabled so it I don't even see it! :P

Haha emanuele, very nice point about Package Manager. That was hilarious.

I'm not saying it's stupid information, but this is not what the topic is about.

Seems it's popular, then. It's totally driving me crazy, that boxes. Today I opened my Admin Panel and Moderation Center and I had to wait 15 whopping seconds for each bloody News box to load before I could finally do something!

That's not the point. The point is that WHEN you open it you get annoyed by that stupid box. And it's not only me where it succeeds to drive someone crazy, there's probably a ton of more users around there that's staring at the screen waiting hopelessly for those boxes to load.
Doctor Deejay:
What about adding the setting but disable it by default? This would still allow people to have their news boxes etc, but it also decreases the bandwith of this site. :)
