wget vs fetch

I have a problem with a box I upgraded from FreeBSD 6.2 To FreeBSD7
It seems the following is happening when I try use portupgrade -a or even
building ports.
ALL transfers that are FTP fail.
Now to make this simple, I have following environmental variables set..
http_proxy=http://192.168.12.4:3128/
ftp_proxy=http://192.168.12.1:3128/
FTP_PASSIVE_MODE=YES
And here is the strange thing..
Fetch fails, but if I use wget there is no problem.
The firewall does allow ftp to go directly aswell, so I have also tried
leaving out any and all proxy settings, this fails aswell. (Except for wget
once again)
And here is the crux.
I have 5 mahcines on SAME network that has no issues like this, so this
makes me think fetch is broke somehow.
How can I force FreeBSD to use wget instead of fetch to bypass this?
Ive tried setting env FETCH_CMD=wget but that results in wget failing with
msg:
Try `wget --help' for more options.
=> Attempting to fetch from http://mirror.sg.depaul.edu/pub/security/nmap/.
wget: invalid option --
Usage: wget [OPTION]... [URL]...
Thankx ahead!
