Why be as extreme as using the Dublin proxy, when there are several
Nottingham poxies? Just manually set your proxy to one of the following
(using port 8080 of course)...

nott-cache-1.server.ntli.net
nott-cache-2.server.ntli.net
nott-cache-3.server.ntli.net
nott-cache-4.server.ntli.net
nott-cache-5.server.ntli.net
nott-cache-6.server.ntli.net
nott-cache-7.server.ntli.net
nott-cache-8.server.ntli.net
nott-cache-9.server.ntli.net
nott-cache-10.server.ntli.net
nott-cache-11.server.ntli.net
nott-cache-12.server.ntli.net
nott-cache-13.server.ntli.net
nott-cache-14.server.ntli.net
