Add proxy guide #159

As requested via email:

I was wondering if ied solves the problem of using npm through a proxy? The problem is discussed in many threads, basically npm very aggressively opens simultaneous connections when downloading Node modules, and this is a problem for some proxies, especially corporate proxies, which start to refuse connections.

It seems that npm has no way of allowing connectivity to be restricted, say to 10 simultaneous connections - can you tell me if ied offers better configurability in this regard?
