NSIS BitTorrent Plugin Needed
Hello,
I am trying to develop a down-loader / installer based on bit-torrent. I tried to do this with the BattleTorrent plug-in. The links on the NSIS website do not lead to the plug-in. Searching SourceForge does not turn up the plug-in. Does anyone know where to find the files for this?
I know that BitTorrentDNA (http://www.bittorrent.com/dna) and the EVE On-line installer (http://ccp.vo.llnwd.net/o2/EVE_Premi...downloader.exe) both use NSIS based installers. I cannot find any documentation on the plug-ins that they use to achieve this. Does anyone know anything about these?
PS : Eventually the project will need to fall-back to HTTP (does DNA do this?) because many people still believe torrents are only used illegally. Developing this feature would be a separate question.

There's BattleTorrent:
http://nsis.sourceforge.net/BattleTorrent_plug-ins
I think there was another one too. Maybe it'll show up on a forum search.

Where is the BattleTorrent plug-in?

Well, there's http://sourceforge.net/projects/batt...2.zip/download that's linked from that page indirectly.

That's a web application, not a NSIS plug-in

I found a mirror of BattleTorrent-0.0.zip here:

Thank you, but I was unable to get BattleTorrent to work with NSIS 2.45.
The BitTorrent people seem to be happy with me using their components so I'm going to do that ...
