So that I could change the proxies on the fly? Esp when going thru sites like RS ,and other download sites ,once a download is initiated the proxy can be changed to get the next file..

Is that possible in the first case? Foxy proxy seemed very difficult to master.Anyone using that can brief in simple steps..

The same proxies available for IE .

In days of old, I used to have a set of really good proxies that worked like clockwork.
One by one, they'd die out. Finding replacements became harder & harder.
Rapidshare (& others) changed their methods. What used to work, no longer worked ...
Eventually I gave up on them altogether.

(I used these in my download manager, not in my browser.)

What the current state of proxies & how well they work, I have no idea.

I've pretty much given up on all download sites that make it unduly hard to, well, download.
So I pretty much skip just about all of those download sites. Megaupload & maybe one or two others are an exception.

Ahem.. Forgot to mention that I was looking for a Proxy manager extension tool in FF which would do things, rather than have to do manually. Tee proxy servers can be got by googling..

FoxyProxy seems to be quite a popular proxy managing add-on.

BTW: Since these one-click download sites seem to be quite popular I bet there are at least a dozen specialised download managers out there.
