Why doesn't WGET work with Cosmote or Wind GR'

A rather technical question. On my blog about using Greek phones for weather forecasts
Greek Internet Weather Yacht Vigdis
I explain how I try to reduce the data volume when using Poseidon's site.

I wrote a script that uses WGET to download 2 day's weather maps at 6 hour intervals. It works fine over a wifi connection but not over Cosmote or Wind WAP proxied connections.

So for example this doesn't work:
wget http://www.poseidon.hcmr.gr/images/m...db09082515.png

wheras if I type that address into the browser it does. But I then have to save each image - which is tedious.

On Cosmote myview'n'web the wget hangs.
On Wind Plus NS I get a temporary resolution errror.

Any ideas or suggestions? It must be the proxy. (Spoofing the UAS does nothing.)
