Not much help I'm afraid but it's working OK for me - both at work (behind proxy server) and from home. I use a .wgetrc file in my ~home directory rather than an environment variable. Looking at the ~system/extras/util/pacman.ijs script, there are two places that can generate an "Unexpected error", unzip, or httpget if your attempted download fails and no ~temp/httpget.log file is written. You could try using debug to set a stop in httpget_jpacman_ and step through it to see what is going on.
