SubDownloader 2.0.9.3 crashes when trying to connect if behind a proxy

[PabloAB]

At start, SubDownloader 2.0.9.3 crashes when trying to connect if behind a proxy (at least on a wifi network) on a Ubuntu 9.10 (kernel 2.6.31-16-generic).

When runing from terminal:

$ subdownloader
/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/kaa/metadata/disc/cdrom.py:37: DeprecationWarning: the md5 module is deprecated; use hashlib instead
  import md5

and when xkilling it:

Exception in thread Thread-3:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/threading.py", line 525, in __bootstrap_inner
    self.run()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/threading.py", line 729, in run
    self.function(*self.args, **self.kwargs)
  File "/usr/share/subdownloader/modules/SDService.py", line 66, in handle_timeout
    raise TimeoutFunctionException()
TimeoutFunctionException

TimeoutFunctionException

If I start SD with: subdownloader --proxy="proxy_ip:proxy_port" everything runs OK.
Also I get wrong and start it with: subdownloader --proxy="http://proxy_ip:proxy_port" and it runs OK (it doesn't crash) but silently not connect with server (it seems it doesn't even try).

Happening to me too, on Precise (version 2.0.14), bit without the printed stacktrace; it just get stuck on "authenticating" progress dialog. I'm behind a proxy chain setup with Cntlm, tried setting proxy address both through UI and via --proxy parameter.
