Use Inet::Load (it's a separately downloadable plugin/module for NSIS).
From which you can download files/applications from remote locations via HTTP/FTP, after which, if you wanted to you could execute/install them, provided the local user has privileges :)

You can use the NSISdl or NSISdlSmooth Plugin.

IF you want to user the NSISdlSmooth Plugin,you must download it first,and copy it to the directory "${NSISDIR}\Plugins".

See here:
http://nsis.sourceforge.net/NSISdl_Smooth

Example:

Section INSTALL
NSISdlSmooth::Download "http://media.winamp.com/main/images/logo.gif" "$INSTDIR\Winamp.gif"
SectionEnd
