= Configure custom download URLs for JetBrains IDEs
Previously, JetBrains IDEs were downloaded from a public content delivery network (CDN), which required a proxy configuration for use in air-gapped environments.
You can now specify custom download URLs for JetBrains IDE binaries directly in the `CheCluster` custom resource. This change allows Dev Spaces to fetch IDEs from an internal network location, removing the need for a proxy.
Add the `editorsDownloadUrls` field to `spec.devEnvironments` to configure your internal URLs:

[source,yaml]
----
spec:
  devEnvironments:
    editorsDownloadUrls:
      - editor: 'jetbrains/idea/latest'
        url: 'http://internal-mirror.example.com/idea/idea-2023.2.tar.gz'
      - editor: 'jetbrains/pycharm/latest'
        url: 'http://internal-mirror.example.com/pycharm/pycharm-2023.2.tar.gz'
----

The problem
Currently, all JetBrains IDEs are downloaded from the JetBrains CDN https://download.jetbrains.com on a Workspace start.
This doesn't work OOTB in the air-gapped environments. To work around this problem, the admin must configure a proxy to whitelist the URLs.

Solution
We can make the URLs for downloading the IDEs configurable to allow the admin to set the URLs pointing to the internal network.
