Well, checking for internet connectivity is a tricky and
operating-specific thing.
Would you rather check for connectivity with a specific host? I gather
that would be more than appropriate for what you're wanting.
Are you wanting to download over HTTP, or a different protocol? If over
HTTP, there are a ton of libraries that may be useful to you, and
there's also building your own HTTP request (which is actually pretty
trivial.)
If you're using Tango, it has classes in it for these things.

I've used Burton Radons' "urllib" in the past to get download files from the

(not how long it's been this way because I haven't tried to compile it since 2006).
I'm wondering if someone could point me to an example of how to check for
internet connectivity and if available download the latest version of a given
file.
Thanks in advance.
