Not to mention that your server will freeze until the data has arrived, which can take several seconds. (unless you use coroutines)
Anyways, this requiers some library binding, which also
requires you to do some C/C++
If I recall correctly, I used the Wininet API, still, this is a horrible idea.
Doubt with LuaSocket On the other hand, if you just download a huge file at startup every other day, it wouldn't really affect the server.
For example, here's a simple implementation that checks once every 24 hours:
