I was actually just using straight send()/recv()s. I had thought about a
script using wget (I wrote one for Packet Storm with wget and awk to
grab the latest files using their XML feeds), which I would write if I
thought my nmap_update.cc wasn't as good as I thought it would be.

So whatever works :)
