No!! The load would be very bigger. If you get the update once a week, the server doesn't have high load because people donwload the update not the same day. If all people gets the update the same day... the server goes down in less then 5 minutes

I'm not sure how easy it is to program something like this, though, as I haven't got a clue as to what information Patchou has access to.
That's a bit difficult. Patchou's server should have some "messenger client" connected (signed in). The you add that contact to your contact list and when a new update is aviable that contact (Patchou's server) would send you a message telling that and / or send the file. Anyway, I don't think that would be the best option (also high loads for the server when a new update is released, and also the server sould have a database of which people have which version) The best way is as it is now, in my opinion
