I'm using Thor UI at home without problems but when I try to install it on my PC at work (yes my work is to test new UI  ) I notice a strange behaviour...
The auto-update starts and I can see the page with the News but I got this error message:
EXCEPTION in GetAFile
Local File Name: C:\Programmi\thorui\lock.txt
Remote RULhttp://thorui.thorsparks.com/autoupdate/lock.txt
Socket Error # 10061
Connection refused.
Update Server is locked. Please try again later!
I wonder if this is somehow related to my network configuration:
- I'm behind a firewall I cannot manage (whitout hacking it  )
- all IP ports except port 80 are open if the INITIATOR is INSIDE (actually I can use EQII client or EQIIMAP updater)
- to use port 80 I must configure the browser to use the proxy (again I cannot manage it)
There is a workaround to this situation? If not, can I manually download the UI?
Tnx in advance,

Hmmm.. The first file it tries to fetch is the lock file (we can lock folks out of the manifests if we are posting a major update). The GetAFile method is unable to connect to the server.
I use HTTP GET's on port 80 to download the files. However, your firewall may not like the fact that I don't identify the client real well. Check with your IT folks and see if only specific client's are allowed to request accross port 80.
I'm using a very popular and well-tested HTTP component to connect (INDY) but I might have to configure things differently to get it to pass tight security.
BTW - I have TWO firewalls and a locked down router where I develop this code and it passes through both very nicely.
Also, the sever could really really have been down. Or you might have the domain where we host on a do not visit list. If Faetyl's server is on an ISP that your company does not trust it could refuse the request.
TO test all this, go into your web-browser at work and enter the following URL:
http://thorui.thorsparks.com/autoupdate/lock.txt
if your web-browser can grab this file, then I have some more work to do
but if your web-browser chokes then it's a security setting and there's not much I can do about it from my end.
