Change proxy connection in download tool

Anyone know how I'm able to change the proxy connection within a Download tool, altering the proxy server address and port? For example any way to do this using the headers?

I am having issues with the Download Tools behind an explicit proxy that requires credentials.

 

We have a PAC file that controls our proxy access and our browsers are locked down.

 

But the error is just: Error: Download (6): Error transferring data: Failure when receiving data from the peer

 

It doesn't say it is an authentication failure or anything else.

How was this solved? I'm running into a similar issue.

I am wondering if there has been any update on this issue? It appears that if you do not have access to change proxy setting or able to run a script then there is no alternative to connect to salesforce?  Is there any plan to overcome the issue for users? I have local admin rights on my work PC but I am still unable to configure settings.

We sort of gave up and use a tool like ProxyCap (http://www.proxycap.com/ - $30) or Proxifier (https://www.proxifier.com/ - $40) to make it work.
