Point 1) The "old way" to fetch updates for Linux/Mac, or Windows from the openmolecules page was deactivated in favor of the (optionally automated fetch) by DW itself. This was around the release of version 6.1.1 or 6.1.2. Prior to this and without a visit of the forum or/and the project's GitHub page[1], there was some "guessing" involved if there were an update.

Point 2) I filed feature request that said GitHub repository equally provides the installers, as well as the cumulative updates (e.g., for current version 6.2.5). See the issue page.[2] Applied to the current state, to me, it seems it would suffice to complement `/opt/datawarrior` by `/opt/datawarrior/updates/datawarrior_v06.02.05.jar`. The feature suggest equally contains the .zip of the .jar.

Point 3) I'm not aware if there are plans to provide DW installation-less like the tools on portableapps.com (for Windows), or as an AppImage (like for Avogadro2[3], for Linux), or Docker image which would bypass the constraint set by your colleagues of the IT department. Document how DW could improve your workflow, get backed by your supervisor, request them for a permission specific for DW. The page on GitHub provides a shell script to locally (re)build DW; possibly their reluctance is less if this route were taken by them as it allows to monitor what goes in and out.
