(Thanks for the icon slappey)
I've been meaning to release this application "update" since forever, so, yeah. Here it finally be and here's a summarized description:
1) HDemoLauncher manages a collection of mods for you and decides where to place them based on if they are enabled or not. It's easy to add a mod or a batch of mods. Using HDemoLauncher for managing mods is faasst.
2) HDemoLauncher includes a download manager that allows you to easily download and install any mod from HDM's mod database webpage, with a click of a button.
3) HDemoLauncher provides a way of managing a list of Halo Demo servers. You can see which ones are online and offline, and it has a "leet" server preview which surpasses the existing web based previews. Also, you can like, connect to servers from the app.
4) A lot of nifty things I probably left out. A detailed read me and version change-log is included that is like, uh, detailed. This is, like, the Halo Demo Launcher.
And here's some images. Click to see full size.
(I blurred out IP addresses for obvious reasons. If you want to test this on your own server, you may have to use localhost as the address)

Not like you can really do anything with an IP.

Don't double post. I read your first post. While this is something worth implementing, it's not something that easy for me to implement, and I don't have as much time as I used to. So, big feature-ful updates are doubtful any time soon. (By the way, I finished working on this app around two weeks ago. Just now, I found the time to make a post about it.)
