Then Don't - The firewall, being lame as those things are, probably looks for *and logs* specific URL's and plain-text file names. So the first step is to not use things that it recognises. > I use a win xp sp2 and browse using ie 6. Is there any way how i > can dowload music on my computer using this connection. (We have a > proxy server throught which all the connections pass) So *you* must have a proxy server *outside* the firewall to do the downloading, then fetch through the firewall using some protocol that hides the content - The combine of SSL and HTTP probably *will* go through cleanly. Since this is supposedly relevant to Python, how about the proxy being Shareaza "remoted" with Pythons XML-RPC over SSH using Wx-Python as a GUI? Maybe even support streaming so all the "warez" reside on the proxy, yet the music plays where you are; it's probably the safest way. "Don't shit where you eat" - "They" come and kick the door in - but not at your place. *That* would be a neat project. PS: Once you got your proxy setup, you do not really need to go through the firewall at all. A DVD/RW goes straight through with lots of bandwith ;-) > > Thanks, > Parth Shah > -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
