Re: About the download page

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.
