Error parsing proxy URL. Bad port number
The password I used caused this issue as it had a # in it. I replaced # with %23 [UTF encoding] and now this is working fine.
make us Use of "--no-proxy" Example : wget https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub --no-proxy
This will elimimate the current proxy and try to download what ever we need..
I set up the proxy on Ubuntu using general system settings (manual option).
The problem was I pasted the proxy URL with a port, while the port is also separately specified there, in different field.
