It could be the that server sends a malformed redirection. Can't
say for sure, since the URL is inaccessible to the rest of us :

$ HEAD 
https://data.caida.org/datasets/passive-2008/equinix-chicago/20080319/eq-chic.dirB.20080319-185908.UTC.anon.pcap.gz
Enter username for data at data.caida.org:443: 

Perhaps you could pass appropriate --user and --password options
to Wget.
