Impluse not working through Proxy

from Sins Forums

Is there any way to download the 1.15 patch without using impulse? I'm at uni atm and they have a rubbish proxy that blocks a load of ports and impulse can't reach the servers even with changing its settings, so anyway to get impluse to work through the proxy or download the patches via another source?

Are you looking for the most legal way to do it?!

I need this, too.  I don't have internet access (I get on the net at the library), so I can't download the patch with impulse to update it. Unless there is someplace to download it, I won't be able to update my game.  I purchased the game legally, so I'd be looking for the most legal way to do it, yes. :)

I couldn't find just the patch.  The only things I saw were to purchase the game.  I already bought the game, I just need the patch.  Thanks for your response, though. :)

If you have the game registered then Anywhere will show you the archives for download. Impulse should not be blocked by firewalls since it uses basic web traffic for its services (including downloading) - but you should send an email to support@stardock.com to check on that.

They will, however, point you to Impulse Anywhere also.

Impulse Anywhere was not really designed in mind as a method for getting the latest patches. You can download the entire game which is updated whenever a new patch comes out, then use those files to install overtop of your current install.

Yeah, but it is the only way to have the latest patch without using Impulse to download, too :P
