Proxy setting in download manager

I need help in the proxy setting for download managers, specifically Flashget.

I recently use a software to connect to a proxy, and it gave me a SOCKS4/5 port number and a web proxy port number.

How do I insert the settings into Flashget so that I can download a file from, say. megaupload?

I'm sure most of you guys here are aware of Flashget, right? I don't have much knowledge in networking, and are currently in download hell, figuring out how to use it to download files using a proxy server.:banghead

Help, anyone? Please?

 

Welcome to Major Geeks :major

In Flashget

Tools - Options - Proxy - Add

Select 'Type'

and enter details in 'server' and 'port'

good luck

Oh, sorry, forgot the niceties.

Yeah, thanks, glad to be here, it's one awesome site.

And about adding proxy setting, which option do I use? There's HTTP <Get>, HTTP <Connect>, FTP (dunno how many), Socks 4, Socks 5....

The option is kinda confusing for me who is a complete newbie to this kind of thing.

Which one do I use, and when I download a file, there's the option to use which connection for Http, Ftp, and Rtsp/MMS. Which one should I use for which setting?
