There might be other ways:

I've used wget from cygwin. Edit (or create) the .wgetrc file in the 
cygwin home dir and add:

http_proxy = http://yourproxy.com:1234/


And more important: comment out the line 54 of

win32-setup.sh

       #use_proxy="-Y off"

I'm thinking about keeping this line commented, as it doesn't seem to 
make sense to me, why would you *prevent* wget from using a proxy ...
