ummm...I'm not very familiar with the socks protocol, but in theory the http one should be faster because socks is working like an extra layer in the network stack and so should slow down the transfer a little....but I don't think it's that much. maybe you can test the same download with both options and let us know then... :wink:

Hm you must configurate the browser to use the proxy port 127.0.0.1:8118 or localhost:8118.

Have u done that?
