What format is it in?  Is it one big zip file, or similar?

What OS are you using?  You can use wget (use google) to fetch the content.
If you're on a unix-like system, you can set up a cron job to fetch the
content, extract it if necessary, then call plucker on the output.  If you
using windows, I think you can use its task scheduler, but I've never used it.
