Bug Description
Binary package hint: synaptic
I am behind a proxy firewall. I have properly set the proxy details in both 'System > Preferences > Network Proxy' AND in Synaptic 'Settings > Preferences > Network'. The download and installation work fine for most of the packages, but for some packages, it tries to use port 80, instead of specified proxy port 3128. Hence, it experiences request timed out. A particular example goes below:
Package: flashplugin-nonfree
Synaptic output messages:
....
Connecting to fpdownload.
Retrying.
....
... and it is never successful as expected. But it works from the CLI, if I use apt-get.
It seems Synaptic does not use the proxy settings when it is downloading some .tar.gz files like flash package.

The problem is the configuration in wget. wget is used by flash, MS fonts, broadcom firmwares, atheros firmwares and all this things that are not in the repos and most be donwloaded from other places.
