Orbit Downloader suspiciously phones home. Spyware?

When you open orbit with all the automatic update and p2p network options disabled it still phones home with:

* your ip address
* a very long unique ID (guid) that could contain anything
* information about last use and last exit
* several other suspicious values: dltimes, ntdlgshowtimes, dlsuctipscnt and grabpro that probably relate to your orbit settings
* the version number you are using
