Right, well our proxy now allows access to the GTK+ zip file and to the
debug symbols, however when Pidgin tries to download the spell checker
dictionaries it fails because

http://ftp.services.openoffice.org/pub/OpenOffice.org/contrib/

seems to be an empty directory. Have the dictionaries moved elsewhere?
I'm sure the previous info here

http://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/Installing%20Pidgin#manual_win32_spellcheck_installation

pointed to a different download location.
