Just configure Windows XP as above. When you configure a proxy for Internet Explorer you're actually configuring a proxy for all HTTP traffic (thank Microsoft and their "IE as part of the OS policy" ). On the other hand if you use another browser (Opera/Mozilla/Firefox) and configure a proxy there you'll be configuring a proxy just for that browser. Also, some BT clients have an option to configure proxy.

A web proxy can only be used for the first type of connection, since the second type is not HTTP. Theoretically, you could use the HTTP CONNECT command to tunnel them through an HTTP proxy, but this would require additional code support in the client. There is a possible workaround for this scenario, however; see the final point below. If the proxy does not require authorization, the system-wide proxy configuration should work.

The Narutoforums Bittorrent FAQ by Reznor is a good place to get some basic answers about aspects of the bittorrent system. For a more detailed description, Brian's BitTorrent FAQ and Guide goes over every bit of bittorrent comprehensively. See similar questions...

There is no real way to say one torrent client is superior to another because they all behave differently under the environment they are run in. Making sure your firewall has the appropriate rules setup to allow incoming traffic on your specified bittorrent port/range Having said that, it is a well known fact that some Bittorrent clients cause problems for some users.

These days alternative clients usually have much more features than the official client. Recommended clients are BitTornado and ?Torrent. Many more clients can be found on this site. See similar questions...

Yes. When the main window is open, click the button with a check mark. It will open the properties window. From there, click network. You can now enter a proxy, but don't forget to click ok!! See similar questions...

Edit ~/.jigdo-lite (or jigdo-lite-settings.txt for the Microsoft Windows version) into a text editor and find the line that starts with "wgetOpts". The following switches can be added to that line: e ftp_proxy=http://LOCAL-PROXY:PORT/ -e http_proxy=http://LOCAL-PROXY:PORT/ --proxy-user=USER --proxy-passwd=PASSWORD Of course, substitute the correct values for your proxy server. The last two options are only necessary if your proxy uses password authentication. See similar questions...

Click here for instructions on configuring tracker communication to be tunneled through an HTTP proxy. You are still strongly advised to open up some ports (if you can; see above). The reasoning here is quite simple: burst is unable to find clients to upload to! burst is an advanced application, and as such there are 3 settings which control your "effective upload rate": min uploads, max uploads, max rate.

FTP CLIENT will work with a proxy server or firewall as long as the proxy server or firewall is a "true" FTP proxy or firewall -- not one that substitutes FTP protocol with HTTP. (Note that Web browsers convert FTP to HTTP commands which is why a browser might work with a firewall when FTP Client will not.) If you are behind a [proxy server or] firewall, fill in the Firewall is tab in the Connection screen. See similar questions...

Before you can use this site, or any other BitTorrent site, you must know what BitTorrent (BT) actually is, how it works, the programs needed and the methods involved. All of this information can be found at Brian's BitTorrent FAQ and Guide. You can delete your account and then attempt to re-register. If you are using a free email service such as Hotmail or Yahoo! there may be up to a 24hrs delay until you receive your email. See similar questions...

Opera allows you to specify a different proxy server to be used for each protocol. Each one can be configured or disabled independently, and any URL you wish to access directly whilst a proxy is enabled can be added to an Exceptions list. Connections to Gopher and WAIS services can only be made via a proxy server. See similar questions...

The solution here is to chain the proxies together. SpamBayes (sb_server) doesn't really care where in the chain it is, although some of the other proxies (often anti-virus software like Norton Anti-Virus or AVG) sometimes do. The easiest solution is to leave your other proxy set up exactly as it was before SpamBayes. Then look in your email client to see what port it is using (it'll probably be connecting to "localhost" or "127.0.0. See similar questions...
