Updating A Small Application

I've made a small application for fun and I want to implement an update feature.

I don't real开发者_如何学Cly have a remote server or anything. I thought I could use a file hosting site to host my application. So :

1. Does anyone know a good site which I can easily download files from? (not like rapidshare that you have to wait. more like a direct link.)
2. How can I make the application check if there is an update.

DONT link me to CLICK-ONCE, it seems way too complex for my needs. I just need a creative solution so that my program can ask : "update available?, if yes, give me the link".

You can use Amazon Web Services S3 and CloudFront to host your application files. If you don't want to use ClickOnce, you could simply have the application download a text file that has the latest version number from a predefined update site. Have your program compare it with the current running version and if there is a new version available pop-up a message with a link to download the new installer. Whenever you have a new version, simply upload your new installer and update the version text file with the new version number.
