I need to configure a proxy in order to upgrade my Python environment in Anaconda. I specified the HTTP\_PROXY environment variable:

```
set HTTP_PROXY=myproxy:8080

```

and modified the .condarc file in C:\Users\I328807:

```
proxy_servers:
    http: http://myproxy:8080

```

but conda still struggles with the connection:

```
C:\Users\I328807>conda install python=3.5
