What I really do is a cron job that runs this script on a linux box at 6am:

bld=`wget -q -O -
'http://deadlock.netbeans.org/hudson/job/ruby/lastSuccessfulBuild/buildNumber'`
wget -P /home/james/Desktop
"http://deadlock.netbeans.org/hudson/job/ruby/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/ruby/rubyide/dist/netbeans-rubyide-hudson-$bld.zip"
cd /home/james/Desktop
rm -rf nbrubyide
unzip "netbeans-rubyide-hudson-$bld.zip"

That's on a samba-exported directory, and I just copy over that.
Vista's unzip utility is pathetically slow, and while Vista might have
a cron-like feature, I have no idea how to to use it.
