Setting a web proxy in the preferences dialog

[Sarah]

I haven't tried this myself, but there was a problem with downloading 
engines in the beta versions of Rev 1.1 so check you have the latest 
version of Rev. You only need to get the engine once and then it will be 
in your Revolution folder for future use. If the Distribution Builder 
doesn't want to do this automatically, you could try downloading the 
Windows version manually. The script in the Distribution Builder points 
to: http://www.runrev.com/revolution/engines11/  so I guess you could 
download the engine directly from there, decompress it and put it in 
your Revolution -> components -> engines folder.
