This will surely work, but its for me not the solution to the problem. The problem is not wget, but the sudo wget. If a user does a proxy setting from the menu, and says 'system wide', it should work system wide. For corporate administrators, this might be the reason not to switch to 10.04. So, the default behaviour of sudo should be changed, in my opinion.
