If you are trying to download Google Chrome and can’t get past the “Connecting to the Internet…” or “Initializing” stage it may be because you’re behind a Proxy server.
The Chrome installer is trying to download the actual file. Some genius at Google didn’t think that 50% of people who access the web through a proxy server are important. I guess this is the same reason G-Mail has been in Beta for 5 years.
However, if you want to bypass this stupid installer, you can install Google Chrome using the link below. It’s actually pretty sweet thus far. AND VERY FAST!
