Hi, I am new to dl4j and recently trying to run the examples. I have a Linux box but with very limited space for home directory and the linux env requires proxy server to go outside the corporate internal network. Is that possible to set the directory of the data for example and also for the proxy?  
Thanks,  
Jie

Most examples use the [DownloaderUtility](https://github.com/eclipse/deeplearning4j-examples/blob/master/shared-utilities/src/main/java/org/deeplearning4j/examples/download/DownloaderUtility.java#L122-L123) class, that is part of the examples themselves. You can just change the target there.

As it is using just the same old tools that the JVM provides for HTTP connectivity, you can set the proxy the same way you would for other java projects. Using JVM command line arguments:

```auto
-Dhttp.proxyHost=10.0.0.100 -Dhttp.proxyPort=8800

```

Thanks a lot! The proxy setting is very useful
