Apparently it's a "cacheflow," a dedicated hardware proxy, if I understand what was reported to me correctly. I tried several different proxy servers inside HP (by which I mean different addresses) and the same thing happened.

Yes, but it didn't get very far, and I didn't capture the output to send, alas.

You mean as opposed to the "socks" selection?  Did that.  The whole thing seems to hang before even downloading the initial rdf file from red-carpet.ximian.com.  I thought, "a ha, HP is blocking access because too many people are downloading ximian gnome!"  No such luck, I can surf to the web page just fine in the HTTP proxy enabled browser.

Yes.  My colleague downloaded 1.2 on Thursday and when he restarted the new version, he got the same problem I did. Kind of natural to assume that it's the new version that caused it, but I don't know.
