How do I properly configure a wget proxy in /etc/wgetrc? or What's the correct way to set up a wget p

Hey! Had the same issue last week. Make sure you're editing the right file—sometimes people mix up `/etc/wgetrc` and `~/.wgetrc`.

Also, try adding `use_proxy=on` right above your proxy lines. Wget can be picky about that.

If it still doesn’t work, check if your proxy needs auth with `proxy_user` and `proxy_passwd`.
