Bug Description
Hey,
Unfortunately many of wallpaper websites are banned in countries like Iran, China, etc. and people connect to them via proxies. It would result in variety's disability in downloading wallpaper from those sites like flickr and wallbase. If there were an option to download wallpapers via proxy, tis problem would be solved.

Variety works with Ubuntu's global proxy setting (it needs restarting after you change this setting). Also, if you set HTTP_PROXY variable, it will use it - for example, run it with: 10.10.10. 10 /opt/extras. ubuntu. com/variety/ bin/variety -v
HTTP_PROXY=
Replace 10.10.10.10 with the IP of a proxy server you'd like to use.
