Inetc vs InetLoad vs NSISdl?

Hi,

I'm looking to use the more reliable internet plugin for my installer to download some files, these files are very important to the install process so I would like to minimize any errors!

Can you guys please share your thoughts on which of these plugins is the most reliable?

Thanks 😁

Users of my installer had problems with NSISdl. It was either because of a proxy server or firewall. I switched over to InetLoad and nobody has had issues since.

Would I be correct to assume that Inetc is better than InetLoad since it is based on InetLoad itself?

I think InetC just adds upload support, but you should ask the author (Takhir) or wait for him to reply.

Yep.

NSISdl supports HTTP and is a part of the NSIS distribution, InetLoad supports both HTTP and FTP.

Both should be reliable. There has been a bugfix release recently, so make sure you have the latest NSIS version.
