I'm stumped then.

=================================================================
TeX-Live wgetrc now:

install-tl:cairo> grep proxy tlpkg/installer/wgetrc 
         http_proxy = http://gatekeeper.mitre.org:80/
ftp_proxy = http://gatekeeper.mitre.org:80/
use_proxy = on
install-tl:cairo>
=================================================================
Here's my personal one.  Same info as above.

install-tl:cairo> grep proxy $HOME/.wgetrc
http_proxy = http://gatekeeper.mitre.org:80/
ftp_proxy = http://gatekeeper.mitre.org:80/
use_proxy = on
install-tl:cairo>

Proof wget works:
=================================================================
install-tl:cairo> wget  http://www.google.com/
--16:32:24--  http://www.google.com/
            => `index.html.1'
