Of note with this one... for those who are using a pca-proxy like me, I had to go into my proxy box and add a .wgetrc under / (since that is my root user home directory) with this info:

http_proxy = http://your-proxy-server.company.com:8080/
https_proxy = http://your-proxy-server.company.com:8080/
ftp_proxy = http://your-proxy-server.company.com:8080/
use_proxy = on

Once that was in there, now my other servers that connect to my proxy can grab "missing" files that aren't on the proxy from sun and store them for future updates as usual. :)
