Does anyone know how to enable KGet to use proxies??

Typical I've been at this for ages. I decide to make a post and voila I find the answer myself . For those who have the same problem, the solution is as follows:

Answer Yes when asked if you want to integrate KGet with Konqueror, then set your proxy in Konqueror under Settings --> Configure Konqueror --> Proxy --> Manually specify the proxy settings.

If you don't know how to integrate KGet with Konqueror (or if you've previously chosen No, but would like to change your mind) you can find it in KGet under Settings --> Configure KGet --> Advanced.
