For me it was an ftp issue: setting environment vars for ftp to use:
     ftp_proxy	       URL of FTP proxy to use when making FTP URL requests
		       (if not defined, use the standard ftp protocol).

     http_proxy        URL of HTTP proxy to use when making HTTP URL
                       requests.
This has worked for me under linux:
$ echo $ftp_proxy
http://www-proxy-1:8080

But check `man ftp' to see what you need.

Hope this helps,
