Wget is one of my favorite tools when it comes to working with files online. And it’s definitely my fav download manager. So, here is a little tip how to work with it if you are behind a proxy server like I am right now. In order to make wget use transparent proxy setting ENV is not enough. Solution is rather simple - just edit file called /home/johndoe/.wgetrc and put the following in it:
http_proxy = http://PROXY:PORT/ use_proxy = on wait = 15This will make wget use whatever proxy is working between you and the rest of the world.
