I can't DL the map (link dead, or my connection maybe).

You can go and try to decompile it with "winBSP" but it's a little buggy, or sometimes doesnt want to decompile at all with some maps. If you can get it decompiled you can juste use valve hammer editor or QuArK to add the NS entities to get it to "work" with NS. However you will probably run into others problems like multi levels area not visible for the commander, etc

Btw its reverse engineering, maybe the original mapper doesnt want his map make it into a NS level <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

you want to convert it. Is it a map from world craft or a other mod map?
as he said get bspc or zooners for compile.

I wouldn't recommend decompiling maps to convert them. Decompiling a bsp produces a messy mismash of brushes, due to map data that is removed from the map. The decompiler tries to fill, but usually gets it.. well, wrong, so that's not really an option.

Also, I wouldn't go about doing any sort of converting, or indeed making <i>any</i> changes to someone else's map without getting the author's permission.
