Best of luck with ya updater program, there going to be a fair few problems you going to come across like the file structure of the different programs your program will update.

Like dbp file structure is different to like fpsc so you have to decide what programs your updater will support.

nah, actually the way is more like dropbox work

there gonna be an update creator with login system,
the update creator will run just like dropbox, there will be a directory where all the items will be stored.
now, once new file is been puted into the folder or a file been updated, the server program will regonize it and assign it to a file structure list.

at the client side, there is nothing left to do is just to run the updater exe, there will be assigned an INFO.INI file with in it (with some encrypted data) about the server's login and IP..

basiclly thats all what it does.

arhh I see well best of luck with it the only problem I see is the cost of the server to yourself unless you charge people to use your updater.

I've seen many programs like this come and go and at the end of the day its the cost of running the servers that kills the program def if it used by a lot of people.

@ s4real: actually I can use my own pc as server, and one of the ideas us to make a limited space for your update files, then if you want to expand it, just pay small fee. .

The servers could be run by the individual to whom the game belongs. Sergey is offering software here.
