Strange, the first one times-out, but the other three all work for me. Even 
things like:

wget 
http://216.34.181.60/projects/expat/files/expat/2.0.1/expat-2.0.1.tar.gz/download
wget 
http://sourceforge.net/projects/expat/files/expat/2.0.1/expat-2.0.1.tar.gz/download?use_mirror=kent
wget http://216.34.181.59/project/expat/expat/2.0.1/expat-2.0.1.tar.gz

all work (though the file names on the first two are download...).

What version of wget are you using? Mine is 1.13.4

Cheers,
