Dear Elijah,

Thank you very much for your answer...
But I must have missed one step, because when I launch multiseq, I am never
asked if I want to download the updates...it starts automatically!
I am just asked to choose the directory in which I want to save metadata.

(For information, I run VMD on windows system...)

So is there a way I can either parametirize the connection to your site via
the proxy?or to not download automatically the updates?

Thanks in adavance,

Yes, when the dialog appears asking if you want to download the updates
now, just click "No". You can also download them manually if you find
that you need the data they contain: taxonomy and enzyme information
about sequences and structures.
