ABSTRACT:
A method, system and computer program product for keeping files current for use in a computer system coupled to a network. The method includes: (1) evaluating a downloaded file from a source within the network to determine if a source identifier is present in the downloaded file, (2) checking the source periodically using the source identifier to determine if a newer version of the downloaded file exists and (3) replacing, in response to the presence of a newer version of the downloaded file, the downloaded file with the newer version. The method further includes attaching, in response to the source identifier not being present, a source descriptor to the downloaded file.
