I am surprised by this 'developer' ?! ...
First - answering a question with a question is a kind-a not nice (rude)...

Second, why not tell the user something that CAN help him !?...
... (provided you are developer)

Here is what I know - mutella and other similar p2p client/servers can typically use proxy, but not HTTP - they most often make use of SOCKS proxy (ver.4 ot 5). Now, under windows you can get 'socks2http' - a small tool that will establish a listening SOCKS server on your machine and then reroute SOCKS requests through an HTTP proxy. Under UNIX/Linux there should be a similar way... (don't know).

See if you can find yourself more info and post it here, please.
Thanks !
