Applet Mitigations - Updaters

So how do you make an updater be less horrible.

First off, as I suggested for all applets, consider not having one at all.  For instance, Collectorz.Com's applications each check for updates periodically when they are started.  That way you bury your update functionality with the application, and it alleviates the need to worry about external updaters.

If your application is itself a plugin (think Flash, Quicktime, Java or a driver (of any kind)), then you don't have a convenient application on which to hang your updater.
