Maybe have a checkbox in a preferences window somewhere as to whether or not automatic updates should be attempted, then prompt if there is an update to ask the user if it should be installed or not.

I would probably need to make the auto-updating an option because it's
possible that people will be using this software in their homes, and might
not have an "always-on" Internet connection. What's the best way to check
for an active Internet connection? Should I try to open a socket to a web
site, or is it better just to attempt to download some file, and if it
fails, I would know there's no connection?
Thanks for the suggestions,
