Not sure I should sign in to this somewhat surreal discussion:

Did check my system; no sign of *internet* activity due to 
launching of Digikam. Only by activating the OpenStreetMap 
functionality in the Geolocation panel my eth0 network 
interface got any throughput. Both OSM and Google were 
disabled by default in my installation of Digikam. Marble 
has a low detail word-map, I'd bet that it's already there 
in the installation package.

So, it's a "can't reproduce" situation. At least unless you 
provide more detailed information on how to reproduce.

It has already be suggested that your downloaded 
Digikam-package might have been tainted, other possibilities 
include viruses and other malware.

Couple of issues though;
Your e-mail client seems broken, it's really very difficult 
to distinguish your comments.
And you don't seem to have read RFC 1855 - Netiquette 
Guidelines (a classic read from October 1995), found at 
various places such as: 
<http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc1855.txt>

Call me a Digikam salesman (would be proud of it), but don't 
pretend you haven't been treated politely on this mailinglist.

Best regards
