About the download page

[M.Kranthi Kumar]

Hello,
 	I am trying to download Mauve, but the snapshot on the download 
page is of 26th dec 2004. I am behind a http proxy, due to which, I think, 
I am not able to connect to the cvs server. Could some one please point me 
to some place where I can download the latest sources through normal http 
or ftp? I visited the cvsweb page too, but downloading one file after 
another is not an option. I could write a script, but that would take 
sometime(I would have to revise the syntax, and all that stuff), and I am 
running short on time right now. So, could someone help me out by putting 
the latest(at least of 2006) archive on the site's download page?

Thank You,
Kranthi.

The Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati doesn't have any access
to external CVS ???  Incredible...

Hi,

Thanks a lot Andrew.
 	The problem with our connection is that all the students are 
behind a single http proxy. Now, this proxy blocks all kinds of packets 
except http packets, allows communication through a single port only, 
requires authentication, and can't download anything above 100 MB. So, 
things like Java documentation, can't be downloaded(we got around this 
one).I don't know much about this networking terminology, but somehow, we 
do get to download from ftps too. But that's it. There are other 
connections, through which you can have normal access, but either you are 
not a student, or you are a privileged one to have a login in these 
proxies.

Thanks again,
Kranthi.

If your proxy supports HTTP CONNECT, you can use a TCP/IP
tunnelling software like HTTPPC:
