"pass" is not a valid setting in your .wgetrc; it's "password" ("passwd"
is also accepted, but deprecated).
If you're certain that this is not the issue, you might look into the
"auth_no_challenge=yes" setting. Versions of Wget prior to 1.11 used
very insecure authentication mechanisms, which however seem to still be
required for some servers. If this is your case, then add that setting
to your .wgetrc, or use the --auth-no-challenge command-line option
where necessary.
Note that this option causes Wget to send passwords using the HTTP Basic
mechanism, without even checking to see if the server supports more
secure methods such as Digest. This leads to passwords that are easily
recovered by anyone who can see the network traffic between your machine
and the server, which is why it is no longer the default behavior for
Wget.
If either or both of the above suggestions fix your problem, please
close out this report. If not, please supply log output (you may want to
use the -o option) from both versions of wget with the same option
settings, and the --debug flag on. You may need to sanitize this output;
in particular, you should replace data appearing in HTTP "Authorization"
headers with X's, as your username and password are easily recovered
from the real values for that field.
