proxy for pacman

i went to system>preferences>network settings,and typed in my proxy settings there.but even then,pacman doesn't use that proxy.everytime,before using pacman,i have to issue the following commands:

#export http_proxy="http://10.3.100.211:8080"
#export ftp_proxy="ftp://10.3.100.211:8080"

it is really annoying to do thsi everytime i use pacman.
how do i make it use my set network proxy.

Put that in your .bashrc or /etc/profile.

if it's still not working, post your pacman.conf
I heard somewhere that you had to tell it specifically to use wget or curl for the downloading to do it from behind a proxy
