Suspicious of AmiUpdate? A tcpdump capture shows that it gets a list of all updates from the AmiUpdate server via an XML database, and then AmiUpdate searches locally on your harddrive for the updates you need, then lists them.
AmiUpdate doesn't SEND any information about anything you have, at all, period.
Edit: .. and yes, that means the lists of updates are quite large, and has many old things on it. Each and every time you click "Scan", it downloads the whole list of updates all over again. Which has stuff dating back at least 3 years.
