    I have noticed that Unity Hub is accessing the internet in the background and downloading something (I used GlassWire to monitor my network activity) any idea what is attempting to download ?

    Hi,
    As background download, we download the list of available Unity versions to download and install (Install tab). We also download the list of available tutorials and contents to download (Learn tab).
    Depending if the user is signed in, we also fetch the user's Collab projects list (Projects - In the Cloud tab)
    The Hub may also operate offline.
    Hope the info helps,
    Joe

    Just as a reference, this is the report that I've got after ~ one month of usage
