You can set it up how you want your patching process to work. We have 3 known tools available to us:
1) Patching through login
2) Installing updates through the updater
3) Downloading data through the Downloader
Generally you want to use 2) to install any MPQ updates you have and any custom files.
You can send 2) through 1) or 3).
1) can send 2) or 3)

The Blizzard Downloader only exists so that we are not sending a huge update through the authentication server.

BNUpdate sounds like it installs the MPQ updates and the new version of the WoW executable - that's exactly what the Blizzard Updater does. It's an official blizzard tool and works with any version of WoW that still uses MPQs

You could spend a long time reverse engineering the BNUpdate and working out the exact structures it expects but I don't see the value when the other tool does the exact same job

It took a damn long time to get all these tools and patching processes that we have working, so I would caution about investing time into trying to get other versions of the tools working

While i totaly agree on that, i do these things just for the fun of doing them, no matter if it makes sense or not Before abandoning the bnupdate i try to investigate some more patches. Maybe i find another version which does not simply say 100% and does everything besides writing new files
