you can configure your browser such that it will not use proxy for selected sites. So, it is possible to surf external sites via proxy and download ubuntu ultimate(or anything else for that matter) from 10.10.4.1 without proxy simultaneously. go to edit --> preferences --> Advanced --> network tab --> settings, down there is a option '*no proxy for*' write 10.10.4.1 there and it wouldn't use proxy for 10.10.4.1. u can enter any other server or wesite domain too for example, u can add .ac.in which means it wouldn't use proxy for sites ending with .ac.in (ex. www.iitd.ac.in).

We are not interested in workaround !! Team l...@iitd show make effort to correct this crap behaviour. As per last discussion with NC Kalra Sir, It was mentioned that internal traffic will not accounted in proxy quota !! I suggest to have a proper mail + letter to NC Kalra Sir from l...@iitd. before writing mail or letter communication we can also collect suggestions/problems from students, probably by making a drop-box suggesstion at WindT. -- ┌─────────────────────────┐ │ Narendra Sisodiya ( नरेन्द्र सिसोदिया ) │ R&D Engineer │ Web : http://narendra.techfandu.org │ Twitter : http://tinyurl.com/dz7e4a └─────────────────────────┘ -- Regards, Vikas Sarangal, Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Do you have another question?
