How can I use wget to download over i2p in a terminal?

If I first export http_proxy="http:/127.0.0.1:4444/" && export HTTP_PROXY="http:/127.0.0.1:4444/ in a terminal, wget ignores this and still connects to 127.0.0.1:8118

eepget is the easiest to use, but it's quite barebones compared to wget. If you really need wget, reconfigure the http_proxy variable in its global configuration file, /etc/wgetrc (which takes precedence over any proxy configurations in the shell environment). Copy it to $HOME/.wgetrc and alter it there to avoid the need administrative privileges.
