GUI will recommend the user to upgrade, etc.), while the quality of those downloads outside the db is hard to check... I can already imagine the posts "Plus! spreads virusses trough auto-update".
There would be a mutual benefit for submitting to the db: Developers get auto-update, users get more downloads to view at a central place and some type trustworthyness on the downloads distributed trough auto-update, i get an easier way to verify the downloads depending on auto-update.
Completely agree with you
