gscotti: Well, I guess it was the Gods of GOG angry at me for manually updating the game :(
I removed the game and re-installed it using the latest installer. It's OK for now.

EDIT: nope, it's trying to update (to 1.6.2, I presume) and it's failing, but now it's not even trying to download anything.
