C networking?? How to update old software??

I'm writing a program (doesn't matter what it does) and I have
distributed it, but I have had to make some more adjustments, and
before I ask everyone to update their programs, I was wondering if it
was possible to write a program to go with it to access a server and
download the newest updates (like Spybot does). If their is any
libraries or tutorials to point me to, point away.

I guess SourceForge will have something like this. Did you look
there?
