How to turn off Sublime 2 updates notification?

Solution 1:

There is update_check field in Sublime version 2.0.1 build 2217.

Just go to Preferences -> Settings-User and add there: "update_check": false

Sublime then stops checking for the new version.

Note that at least for some versions this check is deliberately broken during the evaluation period.

Solution 2:

You can add this entry in your /etc/hosts file:

127.0.0.1       www.sublimetext.com

This will stop Sublime Text from accessing the update URL (http://www.sublimetext.com/updates/2/stable/updatecheck).

Solution 3:

put this and it will work:

{
    "color_scheme": "Packages/Color Scheme - Default/Monokai.tmTheme",
    "font_size": 13.0,
    "update_check": false,
    "ignored_packages":
    [
        "Vintage"
    ]
}

Note that at least for some versions this check is deliberately broken during evaluation period.
