In the main, I find this sort of behaviour is down to the proxy server 
taking a nosedive. If it weren't for the fact it is nigh on impossible 
to get any response from demon web pages without it, I would not be 
using the proxy myself.

I have made a suggestion that it be possible to toggle the proxy 
server on and off whilst connected. Obviously if it requires major 
code changes it is not going to happen.

MagiC users note: it is possible to use the Program Manager to kill 
off the STiK process, re-run it using a default.cfg in which there is 
no proxy specified, and re-enable it without dropping the connection - 
far from wonderful but it saves those 5p's building up! :-)
