Well, I've only ever observed the name change the number in the zip file, except once when they changed the name recently when they deprecated support for the EQEmuLauncher.

My plan is to ask the user to provide a url with a place holder for the number, and then try to guess the number.

For instance, right now it would be "http://www.project1999.org/files/P99Files%1.zip", where %1 would be replaced by "30". When 30 fails, it would automatically attempt "31".

Ideally I find my way into the hearts of the P99 devs, and they'd provide us with a "latest.txt" file that would then provide the url to the latest zip archive, and possibly an md5sum to check to make sure our latest download is correct.
