Description
In some regions (e.g. China) electron cannot be downloaded due to "network" problems.
Although this can be resolved temporarily with `ELECTRON_MIRROR` or `ELECTRON_GET_USE_PROXY`, but the developer experience is very poor. Meanwhile `ELECTRON_GET_USE_PROXY` not working, for more details see: https://github.com/electron/get/pull/214
It would be helpful for most Chinese developers if we could add a proxy setting to preferences.
