Checks if script version is up to date via a text file located online!

         /**
	 * @author Reid (PurpleKush)
	 * @param currentVersion
	 * @param txtLocation
	 * @return up to date or not
	 * @throws IOException
	 */
	public static boolean versionCheck(final double currentVersion,final String txtLocation) throws IOException {
		final URL url = new URL(txtLocation);
		final BufferedReader file = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(url.openStream()));
		final String onlineVersion = file.readLine();
		file.close();
		return Double.parseDouble(onlineVersion) == currentVersion;
	}

what website would you use? i appreciate the snippet

I'd suggest dropbox 100% uptime

Thats what i had in mind

Just a suggestion but maybe improve it so instead of returning true/false it actually returns the online version if false so it can be printed on the paint for the end-users knowledge ^_^
