I believe this to be automatic update. The second IP address is listed
for Akamai, which Microsoft uses as a hoster for their update sites. The
first one belongs to an ISP, and it is not unusual for Akamai to have
small numbers of machines as mirrors on ISP networks. You should perhaps
inquire with HKnet, who owns the IP block, whether the IP in question is
a server operated by Akamai.
