NSISdl::download not showing progress...
I'm using NSIS 2.0. I've got NSISdl::download working great, the only problem is that it does not appear to show a dialog or progress bar. I've got a pretty fast connection, but the download is still taking about 10 seconds. During that time, there are no UI updates, and the installer appears hung. I'm not calling the function in quiet mode.

Any ideas?

Make sure you call it from a section.

That did it. I would have liked to do it outside a section, but this will work.

does it actually download the file, or does it time-out? make sure the url is working, and that it's http. for ftp downloads you need a different plugin.

It works fine now... I just wasn't calling it from a section, but from a function after a custom page. It was downloading the file, just not showing the progress page.
