Although I've used wget a lot in the past (in PHP, back in the olden days), it seems to me that you would be much better off adapting your workflow to use requests instead, if it's at all possible.

I wrestled with Anaconda for hours to try to get wget to install on a Win10 x64 version, and eventually I bit the bullet and refactored things to get rid of the dependency.

requests is no slower than wget, in my experience: I download very large GIS datafiles every month (totalling ~3.4GB) and the total download time is basically unchanged by the switch.

If you check the error message, you are getting connection timeout which is most probably related with your proxy configurations.

Use this command to see proxy_servers

conda config --show

If any proxy server is present, you can remove it by

conda config --remove-key proxy_servers.

It will remove saved proxy servers from anaconda configuration. Then run,

conda clean --source-cache

However if you are behind a company proxy, you have to set them correctly.

set http_proxy=http://username: [email protected]:{port}
set https_proxy=https://username: [email protected]:{port}
