Nah - everyone who is new to computers or don't have a
particular interest beyond the basic functions are like
this... do not worry about overasking questions :)

A proxy is something that's set up by your Internet Service
Provider to assist with Internet performance. It is not
identical to the website address of your ISP. (eg. I am
using IHUG ISP, www.ihug.com.au, but my proxy server
setting is proxy.syd.ihug.com.au port 8080). Your ISP
should be able to supply you with the proxy settings and
port number if you call them up.

You should be able to run this program THEN initiate the
connection and vice versa with little problems. I've had to
cancel download to make a call, then reconnect then resume
with little problems.

You should not need to fill in your ISP's address (see
resonse to question 1). The username/password settings for
proxy access can be set in the options (first page that
loads when you hit the Options button at the same page as
where you insert the URL where HTtrack grabs the website).

hrmn... I've never had to change anything in that - the
following page after the program name is where I insert the
URLs of the pages I grab.
> 5. I've never heard of a 'Port adress' so: no number.
Port address could take in the form of an IP address (eg.
132.45.7.54 - some random string between 0 to 255).
...I think my info is right - but I'm not expert so don't
come running down my door if my info prove to be
incorrect. ;)
