So I was just thinking about a few things. Recently I learned that if I wanted to add voice chat to a game, you would have to use dlls to receive the voice into the program from the external mic and then send it somehow. Not sure how to implement this yet, but ill learn somehow.
Next, I was just wondering if there was a way of downloading files from a server. Like say you made a game and then want to add an update. Rather then making a downloadable patch, could you send files over TCP? You could probably break each file down into text and then send it, then when you receive it, make it back into a file. Is there any other way???

just use the tcp get example.
athough i would not want an exe to be selfmodifing, and most firewalls will popup if you try to do so. and you'd need authentification to make sure this ability is not abused by fake dns sources. otherwise it would be a troyan.
