Private Proxy Problem.
 

Hi! I currently use a private proxy sever which I pay for monthly. My problem is that Limewire does not support HTTP proxy passwords. Is there any way around this?:bangh:

Have a look at these & see if they're of any help: (a) http proxies, (b) A Successful http Proxy Solution, (c) HTTP proxy blocks P2P

Thanks for the prompt response:) I don't think I explained my problem very well, so here goes. I live in South Africa, so my ADSL service really sux! I get international download that is capped after 2Gb, after that, my international download speed is cut to 56k:yikes: . I am thereafter left with 28Gb local (South African severs only) download at normal ADSL speed for the rest of the month, therefore, I subdcribe to a locol private proxy service which forwards all my international HTTP requests for me and my ISP sees it as local. So it's not that I can't connect to LW, I can, but it's slow unless I can sent it via my proxy service. One of the things that suck about living in the 3rd world I guess:imwaiting:

Can you communicate with this local private proxy service? Ask them if they can do the same for all traffic through port 6346 (which LW uses by default) or a very high port number. I'm not sure how the system works but it may be possible. :confused:

I'm pretty sure that my private proxy service does not block any ports, it's just that I can set my proxy settings in my LW settings, but what do I do about proxy password if LW does not support HTTP proxy passwords?
