OK, I'll leave the location unspecified.

I gave it a brief test with our setup program and things seem to work 
correctly (which shouldn't be surprising since it just uses the wininet
API to fetch files).

However, it seem our mirror checking script seems to get told "403 
Forbidden" when it tries to check if you are up to date.

Can you tell me (privately, if you like) what User-Agent: it should 
present? Or suggest another mechanism to allow it access?
