dansguardian blocking downloads

[Bnosidda]

I can't install the .zip files for brushes for gimp and I really need some new brushes, is the a way to allow downloads from 1 site or allow downloads in general?

You may have to disable dansguardian to download (the e-Sword protocol requires it). If there is a work-around, somebody more experienced than I will have to show it to you.

bump I really need help and if you could, is there a way to install flash player without going onto their site? like with the "apt-get install" command?

Bump
plzzzzzz

Simplest way is to disable to download, re-enable after

[Bnosidda]

When I disable it, it cuts off my internet connection

I haven't had that problem. Are you root? It shouldn't block you unless you're logged in under a secondary account. Or you may try using the liveCD, see if it lets you in.

I don't remember the list, but /etc/dansguardian has filter lists. You can either add you download site to the whitelist or figure out what filter is blocking and edit that one

If you're using dansguardian at home or on your own computer, you probably don't want to categorically block any type of file download.

The files /etc/dansguardian/bannedmimetypelist and /etc/dansguardian/bannedextensionlist have a pretty restrictive list of files that dansguardian will block.

You may want to delete some (or all, like I have) of the lines in this file so that your downloads aren't blocked.

(Easiest way to do this would be to run 'gksu gedit /etc/dansguardian/bannedmimetypelist' ...)
