Has anyone had any success using proxy.xtra.co.nz:8080? I was thinking i
might use it to speed things up and cut down on international data usage,
and wanted to try out this : http://www.ispcachingforemule.de.vu/

But I cannot access the proxy,

I get error 403

Does xtra run a open public proxy? Are you sure? where did you get the proxy
server address from? Might be a restricted proxy you are trying to access.

Are they using a transparent proxy? Try port 3128 instead of 8080 anyway.
