Default Re: Next big thing

Suggested non-critical features (Gimmicks) for update client:
- stored settings for each download, ie always update / never update this mod/ race.
- Ability to display a few images from the race styles (So you can see what you're updating.)
- Ability to update from local file locations (networks etc)
- support for "backup" URLs in the local txt file (in case the first one in the list is out of date/ unavailable.)
- Predefined list of popular SE4 URLs/ servers which may have updates for "unknown" downloads. (Shrapnel, USy, Kuat etc)
- Ability to locate ordinary readme files and display them to the user (so the user can try to find a URL in it)
- Ability to accept a URL directly from the user and reverse-engineer a local txt file
- If no local txt file is found, ability to locate and search through ordinary readme files for probable URLs.
- If no local txt file is found, ability to locate and search through modinfo files for probable URLs.
- Ability to search probable URLs for probable downloads.
