# Regulator Coming along nicely

[Regulator](http://royo.is-a-geek.com/regulator) is about to pass the **1,200 downloads** mark (in 5 days). How cool is that?

I've got an update coming. It will now support web searching through a Proxy, which , as I understand, was a small headache for some people. I'd like to Thank **Eddie Garmon** and [Darren](http://weblogs.asp.net/dneimke/).  Eddie pinged me early on and let me know about the Proxy thing. Honestly, that issue didn't even occur to me before that. Since I knew nothing about the subject, Eddie gave me some good tips along the way, and I started digging in and finding out how it's done. Near the end I kinda lost myself a bit somewhere in the bits, but Darren swept in at the last second and solved my problems in about 2 sentences. Also Thanks to **Ron Green**, who gave some of his time to test The Regulator bits.

Thanks you guys!
