I'm behind a firewall, the only way to access internet is through a HTTP proxy.

so, is there any method to set BiG World Setup to use a HTTP proxy?

Hm, you could open BiG World Setup\includes\11_NET.au3 and edit some lines...

Set your env-variable like
set http_proxy = http:// proxy.example.com: 8080

search for wget and add --proxy=yes

If it does not work, try to launch the BiG World Setup from the cmd-session you are using to set the variable and have a look at google. ;)
THINK! - It's not illegal.

I was wondering if you could talk me through this as I'm having some difficulty with the big world setup. For some reason TPP dl's work fine when used through a proxy but not through my normal ip.

Make a backup and open the file mentioned above (BiG World Setup\Includes\11_net.au3)
Search for --no-passive-ftp and add a few parameters: -e use_proxy=yes -e http_proxy=127.0.0.1:8080.
You might also want to add --proxy-user=USER --proxy-password=PASS if you need those.
There should be three instances. Save and execute the BWS.
