Hey all!

I just had an idea, to keep a better archive of versions of TenFourFox (and other applications, if they arise in popularity) while keeping them safely on my iMac G4 server. Would it be possible to have AppleScript or Automator check what version is the latest version of TenFourFox and then download it if it's newer than the versions that exist on the drive already? I was hoping this would be an easy solution, but it seems that the website doesn't have a single "downloads" page. Instead, the homepage links directly to the specific version's .zip file. So, I'm not sure the best way to go about doing this (plus I'm a bit rusty on my AppleScripting. :p

Any ideas? :)
