I don't think so. No download accelerator was able to save me from this. what the download accelerators do is simply download by parts. in which case the proxy simply rejects upon the first request. So what i do is guess the file and trick the proxy in someway that it doesn't reject the first request. (this is for squid only) eg. if you set up your squid proxy to enforce download limit and if you try to do partial get of a file larger than the limit it will simply reject.
