Trying to prevent downloading every time on non-changing url

I have added theWord from theWord.net to Ketarin. I have it save to the same file name each time. I prefer this since I need to reference the installer from another launcher. Keeping the same file name keeps me from updating the launcher with each new installer. I have 105 software packages in Ketarin using this scheme, so again, I would like to keep the same file name.

The problem: Currently, with the combination of problems, Ketarin downloads this installer EVERY time I update. I want it to download only when there is a newer version available.

The address to download the small English package does not change with versions:
http://www.theword.net/files/setup/getmulti.php/en-small

This is not a direct link to a file, so Ketarin cannot determine if the file on the server is the same size/date/age/etc.

There is a version number listed on the download page that would allow me to download only if there is a newer version:

http://www.theword.net/index.php?downloads.packages&l=english
For example:
The latest version of theWord is 4.0.0.1342.

 

However, adding a variable to find and check the version number is useless, since the version number is not related to the download link.

Can anyone recommend a way to cause Ketarin to download only if the version number changes under these circumstances?
