Hi,
though the man page of wget mentions .netrc, I assume this is a bug.
For my understanding if you provide a --user=user and --password=password
at the command line this should overwrite any setting elsewhere, as in
the .netrc. It doesn't. And it took me quite some time and bothering
other guys to realise that it seems wget is ignoring --user and
--password at the command line if a .netrc exists with the matching
content.
