Yes, you can 'manually' install any plugin that way--glad you figured it out :) I have no idea why it wasn't showing up in your list though; that's odd! Great news Darryl!

Do you think it is a version issue? When i go to the repository location (pyqgis.org/repo/contributed) i do see the the traceDigitize. Is there a way i can install this from the zip file i download from there? Same result – only the contour plugin showed up. Do you think it is a version issue?

Both the contour plugin and the Trace plugin are in the same repository (QGIS Contributed Repository) so if you see one, you should see both! Try going to the "Repositories" tab and click "Add 3rd Party Repositories" then try the filter again? Darryl; That’s odd!

I did this and got the Contour Plugin 0.9.1 as the only option (is the correct one?). When i installed it, it told me that it was broken. And didn't actually give me any new tools/menus. Do you have the URL of the repository this plugin comes from? Thanks for the quick reply Darren. I did this and got the Contour Plugin 0.9.1 as the only option (is the correct one?).

Had to mount unit on top tube, with face 45deg angle to left to allow consistent wireless reception of speed and cadence. Had to move speed sensor behind front fork (from in front) to get clear line-of-sight to receiver. Found orig. loc. of receiver on handlebar stem lost cadence unless I was in left turn! (eventually had the aha moment..., needed better line of sight). Low sensitivity is prob. good to prevent interference, BUT, can be a pain. Batt life less than wired to be expected, wireless eats the juice. Using BC2209MHR, since 01/12.
