Have you thought about RSS-newsfeeds?
When a new file is added, just update 1 XML-file.
Those who have a newsfeed-reader can then subscribe to the newsfeed. The
RSS-reader checks the newsfeed regularly (just reads the XML-file) to see if
there are updates, and notifies the user if there are updates.
The latest version of the Opera-browser has a builtin RSS-reader, so while
you're browsing, you will be notified when there are updates.
