Chrome Downloading Proxy Settings
Jan 30, 2011 Google Chrome does not have any browser specific proxy settings, it uses the same connection and proxy settings as Windows system. Changing these settings affects Google Chrome as well as Internet Explorer and other Windows applications. Click the Chrome menu button on the browser toolbar. Select Settings. Click Show advanced settings. In the “Network” section, click Change proxy settings. This will open the Windows Internet Properties dialog. Click LAN settings. Deselect the “Automatically detect settings” checkbox. FIX DOWNLOADING PROXY SCRIPT IN CHROME. Press the ‘Window Key + R’ to open RUN command dialogue box. Type “inetcpl.cpl” (without the quotes) in the box and click on OK button. This is the shortcut command for ‘Internet Properties’. Now, ‘Internet Properties‘ box will open. Click on ‘Connections‘ tab and then click on ‘LAN Settings‘ button. The “Downloading proxy script” zinger is often a corollary of how your PC is configured to connect to the internet. A proxy is the middle man you use to get out to the interwebs. Some IT departments use proxies to filter data, control content or improve performance.

Here at college, I am behind a proxy.
To install chrome, I download ChromeSetup.exe file and run it.Now it needs to connect to the internet in order to download the actual software. But I am behind a proxy. The ChromeSetup.exe file that I just executed does not detect/ask the proxy and tries to connect to the internet and fails.
I can't find a fix.Any ideas what might be done??
[This problem is not about setting the proxy when the browser is installed. Its about downloading and installing the browser.]

You should be able to download the Offline installer from here. For some reason it seems that Google don't expose the ?standalone=1 version of the download link on their own pages.
EDIT: Alternatively you could try Softpedia. It has a mirror link for each of the different versions you might want.
BenABenAA standalone setup is available at this location. This is the full version, not an installer that will download the rest.

I frequently move my laptop (OSX) between different wifi areas, but my home base has an ethernet connection and relies on my organisation's proxy.pac file. When reconnecting after a stint on the road, I often get a problem where pages simply don't load in Chrome or Firefox. They just eventually time out. I think this is related to the fact that the proxy requires username and password - perhaps it just discards unauthenticated requests or something.
I discovered by trial and error that in FireFox, if I go to the proxy settings, and press 'reload' on the proxy configuration, then the problem goes away. Eventually Chrome will pop up the proxy authentication dialog, but it can be hard to see (usually comes up in the wrong Spaces window, sometimes disappears straight away, can be buried under other application windows etc).

So my question is: how can I tell Chrome to reload the proxy.pac file, since that works for Firefox? (I thought I had solved the problem by saving the proxy.pac file locally, but apparently not).

Welcome to the world of fun that is Proxy Auto-Configuration files (and indeed Google Chrome)!
You haven't seen anything, yet. Include more than just Chrome and Firefox in the mixture of WWW browsers, and one is in for a world of difficulty. (I recently tried to diagnose why a PAC file was causing RealPlayer to lose the ability to resolve any domain names at all.)
Useful diagnosis tools, where 'useful' incorporates 'I've used them myself to diagnose problems.', include Chrome's JavaScript console and debug logging function. I diagnosed a syntax error in a fairly large PAC file with that, once. The Chromium 'Net Internals' proxy configuration reporting page (whose URL SuperUser doesn't allow as a hyperlink), and its initialization reporting counterpart (likewise), are also useful:
Yes, it is quite difficult to persuade Chrome to re-load a PAC file afresh. Chrome has had a fairly troubled history when it comes to proxy settings. One way to do it that is fairly reliable is to completely turn off all proxy settings in the system settings dialogue (and save that change, of course), wait for a minute, then turn them back on again. But in the past (with earlier versions) I have had to completely exit and restart Chrome. In part this is because Chrome works by polling for changes to the system settings every 10 or so seconds in the background when it is otherwise idle.
In Chrome's bug database you'll find that the request to allow run-time switchable Chrome-specific proxy settings like other WWW browsers have, which relates to your problem, languished for three years and was closed as 'We won't fix this.', although there's now supposedly an extension (and a set of command-line options that are, of course, not run-time switchable).
As you've observed, Firefox has a simple 'Reload' button. As you can see by reading the three years of bug discussion, this is an area where people are quite unhappy about how feature-poor and quirky Chrome is compared to Firefox.
Note that this might not be the root cause of your underlying problem, but since you haven't asked about that, let alone provided anywhere near enough details of it, I'm not going to address it. ☺
JdeBPJdeBPIn Chrome 29.x, there is now a URL chrome://net-internals/#proxy which has a 'Re-apply settings' button.
It reloads the proxy settings, e.g. from a PAC script.
The documentation also lists command line options to override the proxy settings.
Aaron DigullaAaron DigullaClosing and opening Chrome might do it, but Chrome uses the system proxy so perhaps not.
Shifting gears manual transmission. May 10, 2007 Put the gear shift in the neutral position when traffic stops or slows to a crawl. If you’re moving too slow in 1st gear, the engine could stall. Engage the clutch, shift the gear shift into neutral, and release the clutch to keep the engine in neutral. Let the vehicle roll and use your breaks to slow it down or stop if you need to. At every gear change you have to press and release the clutch twice, hence the name 'double-clutching.' You can also see how a small linear motion in the gear shift knob allows you to change gears. The gear shift knob moves a rod connected to the fork. The fork slides the collar on the yellow shaft to engage one of two gears.
If I were you, I would open up the proxy.pac, and see what it is doing, then set up a proxy profile that you would enable at work and disable otherwise, that matches the proxy.pac.
You could use something like proxy switcher to manage it.
PaulPaulRan into this doing some local development, saw it was due to am extension being installed by corp that was managing the proxy. Incognito mode bypasses and I could connect to my local web server.
