Are you using a proxy? If so you may wish to bypass it with your wget
request if possible. From the man page:

--http-user=user
--http-passwd=password
  Specify the username user and password password on an HTTP server.
According to the type of the challenge, Wget will encode them using either
the `basic' (insecure) or the `digest' authentication scheme.

--proxy-user=user
--proxy-passwd=password
  Specify the username user and password password for authentication on a
proxy server. Wget will encode them using the `basic' authentication
scheme.
