You should use the auto-update feature. It will pop up if there is a new version and will offer to download it. It will also verify the download to prevent malicious spoofing.
Actually no. This bash script is part of a 2000+ line script that goes out and downloads various utilities, drivers, etc. for a stick I carry to customer sites. I could not possible keep up with all the revision changes if I had to do it all manually.
I do not use Classic Shell on my own virtual machine copy of Frankenstein (Windows 8) as I need to be able to see what my customers (who don't ask me first) see when they first get their Frankenstein computers. So, the autoupdate feature does not apply to me.
First thing I do when I get to a customer suffering from Frankenstein is to put Classic Shell on it with their permission. They are EXTREMELY appreciative. As such I need to carry the latest version around with me. (My stick has a read-only switch so I don't catch and spread viruses.)
This would be a lot easier on me if you had an ftp site to download from. If not, how do I get around the recurrsive loop problem trying to download with wget from your web site?
Many thanks,

Edit: figured out how to wget to download it: add "--referer=http://www.classicshell.net/downloads/latest" to the run string.
wget --referer=http://www.classicshell.net/
