Hmm, good idea, but didn't work eighter, it went:

$ wget -e ftp_proxy=ftp://192.168.35.1:3128/ ftp://ftp.fit.vutbr.cz/pub/XFree86
/4.3.0/fixes/*
Error in proxy URL ftp://192.168.35.1:3128/: Must be HTTP.

so, it seems that the proxy is not really ftp proxy, but http that
deals with ftp requests as well, but wget doesn't know and so it
forbides wildcards. This may be a bug, but I really don't know...

Who knows?

Thanks and greetings
