Editing my hosts file wont help at all, as it will still need to go through the proxy to get out of the building as the firewall (as is the way at most corporate sites) blocks port 80, so you *must* go through the proxy. The proxy is a shite windows one that requires nasty nasty NTLM authentication.
I tried using a local proxy on my machine and pass through that but it refused to authenticate with the upstream proxy. I've sorted it now by taking the machine home, plugging into home network and updating through that.
