to download articles through wget from the newleftreview, I need to be identified as being connected through a university internet connection,

What do you mean by this? Does
the website allow people to pull articles via wget for educational purposes? Good news!
Although I already detailed how to masquerade as Firefox, so they would never know.
But simply using the university proxy would be easier
The standard way to
use a proxy is to:
Code:
set https_proxy=https://proxy.server.com
Or otherwise set the https_proxy permanently through the Environment Variables dialog thingy available somewhere in the Start Menu searchbox.
Or the far more usable
Rapid Environment Editor.
Many programs know how to obey this environment variable, including wget.
You can also specify a wgetrc file using
Code:
wget --config C:\path\to\config\file [more options and websites and stuff]
You can use the "wgetrc" envrionment variable to specify the location of your wgetrc file (on linux it automatically looks in $HOME/.wgetrc but I cannot find any comparable location for Windows).
