Hogie has mentioned the posability of releasing a new one that requires your board username and password to use it, as well as tracking if your patching over and over again. And of course checking to make sure you already have a different version of the files to begin with.

I think the new patcher should only let each user download the files 2 times. After that, there should be absolutely NO excuse for not backing up the files onto a CD or some other storage medium.
