I tried this once myself but as far as I can see Wget (at least the version
shipping with Cygwin) doesn't speak SOCKS.
It does OTOH speak http-proxy-talk, so if you're using http then you can
always point wget at your local privoxy socket rather than directly at the
SOCKS socket.
What protocol are you after using wget to fetch?
