Create a WEGETRC.TXT file and store it in a place like "C:\" and in the file WEGETRC.TXT have the entries http_proxy=http://proxy.cite.wa.edu.au:8080 use_proxy = on Do not use the SET command. That is only good for the present shell. Righ-Click "My Computer" --> properties --> advanced --> environment variables --> system variables --> new Variable name: WGETRC Variable value: C:\wgetrc.txt now just invoke wget http://android-x86.googlecode.com/files/android-x86-4.0-RC1-eeepc.iso or invoke a full command line wget --execute=http_proxy=http://proxy.cite.wa.edu.au:8080 http://android-x86.googlecode.com/files/android-x86-4.0-RC1-eeepc.iso -- Dave Multi-AV Scanning Tool - http://multi-av.thespykiller.co.uk http://www.pctipp.ch/downloads/dl/35905.asp
