Q:  Where are the downloaded files stored?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A:  The plugin saves the files in the main file directory that can be set in the preferences of JabRef.
    If a per-database specific file directory is set, it is preferred over the global setting.
    The filename consists of the BibTeX key plus the extension ".pdf".



Q:  I need to use a proxy server to obtain access to an online journal pdf file.  How do
    I configure JabRef to use a proxy server?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A:  If you want to use, e.g., a SOCKS proxy, run JabRef with the following command line

      java -DsocksProxyHost=host -DsocksProxyPort=port -jar JabRef-X.jar , 
 
    where host and port give the hostname and port number of your SOCKS proxy and X
    is the JabRef version you are using.
 
    A general documentation that also includes HTTP proxies (and how to specify a username/password) 
    can be found here:
