User blog:LOTRMod/Auto-Downloads

I had an idea today. If possible, it would be very very useful.

A script to auto-download the LOTR.dat file from a server at regular time intervals (e.g. once every 10 minutes) and save it to a folder on the computer.

With this, the data resets that plague the official server and some others would become easier to manage. (Even better would be if there were no resets, but I am convinced that is a problem caused by the server host software, as I have never experienced a reset in singleplayer or on my own private servers, ever.)

Does anyone know if this might be possible and if so how to go about programming it? (Pallando?)
