    I don't know if proxify allows http downloads, our script doesn't block them, but it could lead to bad situations if multiple people does it.

    In short, it's possible on our end but it's not recommended.

    if you happen to be using a proxy that someone else is using, you will get a 403 forbidden error. This is because our server sees one IP trying to open 2 downloads simultaneously, which we don't permit.
