Hey, you wrote "porxies", not "proxies", and I think because that gives you anonymity and they don't want it here, it's like to ask why they don't let everybody acces FTP servers and just to the ones who have abandonware. I think it's for that but there could be a better or antoher reason

I'd imagine proxies are banned because they can be used for multitudes of non-desirable things, such as:
1) Having multiple accounts
2) Ban evasion (so basically reason 1 again)
3) Evading download restrictions of the FTP.
Sure, there are legitimate reasons for using one, such as website blocking, but in practice I imagine that's quite a rare scenario.
Windows Defender for great justice! Bugs are an international trading company. I need to defeat the anti-debugging and obfuscation methods. It wasn't for Intel's absurd ability to load in ie6. Why even waste time with people in an envelope?

I am a Chinese, and the site and the FTP work just fine.
