Proxy does not work with the download function, it can work with the fetch function directly.

You have to read about how HTTP works, because you have to make the request to the proxy address instead of the web server of the web page, then on the proxy header you put the address of the web server of the page, so proxy fetch it for you and serve it and cache it, it works basically but you have to know HTTP, I do not have time to make examples sadly.

i managed todo it just using

requests.get(url, proxyurl=proxy)[0]

works ok so far and allows me to use the same code for downloads as well as normal requests simply by sending an useproxy bool option
