Can connect through proxy by creating .axelrc file in user home dir - davconvent

Me wrong, this is possible by creating a '.axelrc' file in the user home directory.

simply adding the line

http_proxy = HOST:PORT

does the trick (of course replace HOST and PORT with valid values)

I found an example of .axelrc file here:

Sorry for the noise, great app :-)

Can't connect through proxy - sinclair44

Indeed -- axel has a million and a half options (as is common with unix-y programs). None of them are exposed via the GUI, which was honestly a quick face for me to use on top of axel itself.

I'm glad that this is still useful for someone; honestly, I wrote this off years ago. There's no reason it should break in the future though... other than still being PPC-only. Shouldn't really be an issue for an app of this nature, though, unless Apple removes Rosetta in the distant future.

Hm. Maybe I'll get around to fixing that one day. Shouldn't be too hard, I think I tried it once, just requires building axel twice, some lipo magic, and then recompiling the GUI as a UB. Trivial, honestly, and really not worth doing a new release for.
