(for general proxy > like squid. pacproxy.py would be only used by pacman, hence my main > interest on it) I don't know... my attempt would be setting this into the pacman.conf: XferCommand = http_proxy=.. ftp_proxy= .. /usr/bin/wget --passive-ftp -c -O %o %u but i don't think that will work. maybe a pacman dev knows. a bit more dirtier, but should definitely work: XferCommand = /bin/sh -c 'http_proxy=.. ftp_proxy= .. /usr/bin/wget --passive-ftp -c -O %o %u' or write this to /etc/profile: alias pacman='http_proxy=.. ftp_proxy=.. pacman' Dieter
