I'd like to provide LAN users access to set of useful and popular applications (like Acrobat, Firefox, Foobar, putty) but there is one problem - such software is released every few weeks or even often. What is best method of automatically downloading most current versions? Every download page looks differently and only a few has permanent "xyz-current" links.
Disclaimer: I know newer not always means better but in many cases (like browsers) it at least mean safer.
