I prefer to do it by hand. Ninite isn't always up to date so you end up with a crapfest of auto updaters running instantly.

I may be wrong but I thought ninite grabbed the latest release from their respective website?

"Always Up-to-date: A Ninite installer always gets an app's latest version no matter when you made it."

Not quite. It only installs the latest version they know how to install.

I'm guessing its slightly cleverer than the dev having to find the DL link for every version and manually update the entry somewhere.

Neither are Linux package repositories always up to date.
