Problems with BattleTorrent version 0.0 and NSIS 2.35

• I tried to use this plugin with NSIS 2.35 but found that the installer crashed after a successful download of file hosted as a torrent.
• I also found that a normal download via http would not work anymore with the new /TRANSLATE2 parameters

my solution:

• I have found that BattleTorrent 0.0 nsisdl.cpp was based on NSIS 2.0 RC3.
• I have now created a new version of nsisdl.cpp that is based on NSIS 2.35 (actually 2.36 has no changes in nsisdl)
  • the function setupProgressBar is now much smaller
  • I have not implemented g_hwndStatic2
  • I had to add somewhere at the end of the function execFile to avoid the crash after a successful download:

       if (g_hwndParent)
       {
         SetWindowLong(g_hwndParent,GWL_WNDPROC,(long)lpWndProcOld);
       }

I have uploaded my modified nsisdl.cpp and the Release dll here: http://download.pokorra.de/coding/BattleTorrentFix.zip
