Hi there.

I think i know what happens about the Cannot regexp '"Gen 1:1"' error: the gconf default value for this key was badly written. This should be fixed (actually, workarounded; i understood what happen later on) in the latest version available in the extras repository.

I am a bit puzzled about the proxy issue. All file transfert are made using gnome vfs.

As i never meant to take care of any proxy setting, i m surprised it automatically used your proxy settings, though i do not know why it is not receiving any data.

The most easiest workaround would be to install the modules with a connection that does not involve a proxy.
