I had just some difficulties making fetch work with our proxy-server (some env. variable mispelled). I was heading to use curl because I can use it on my Linux and my NT station too and because I can include it in some scripts to do FTP upload too. Sometimes we get leazy to remenber the arguments to different programs :-) But in the case of ports & packages downloading through some HTTP proxy both fetch and curl - provided you disable IPV6 support in Curl's configure - works fine.
