Q: How do I use the proxies with the wget from linux’s terminal?

A: You need to specify the proxy for both http and https sites.

wget -e use_proxy=yes -e https_proxy=http://user:pass@ip:port  -e http_proxy=http://user:pass@ip:port  http://yourURL.com

If you download via a FTP, you need put put

ftp_proxy=http://user:pass@ip:port
