Can you please add SOCKS proxy support? I am working on a crawler that parses metadata, but I have received two fraudulent DMCA requests this week even though I never shared a single byte of the actual files (destroys torrent on metadata). The only way to avoid having my internet shut off while using this software is to push all the traffic through a proxy or VPN so my lSP is hidden. My primary concern is support in node.js, but if it can be supported client side as well that would help people who use proxies in their browsers for similar reasons.

P.S. This is great software, and I intend to add a bounty to this feature request.
