If you think this could be that Konqueror could be
on a kind of "black list"
you can try to ask Konqueror not to identify itself:
you go in the configuration menu, then in "identification of
the browser" (translated, the translation may be wrong...)
then uncheck "Konqueror send its identification".
If you can know what is the exact identification sent by Konqueror,
then you can also say to "wget" to use this for its identification
insted of saying its name is wget : man wget
--user-agent=agent-string
Identify as agent-string to the HTTP server.
...
However, some sites have been known to impose the policy of tailoring
the output
according to the "User-Agent"-supplied information.  While this is not
such a bad idea
in theory, it has been abused by servers denying information to clients
other than
(historically) Netscape or, more frequently
