That's not how my .wgetrc looks.  I have (eg.):

   passive_ftp = on

You need to man wget and learn what rc file option does what you
want, if wget can be used that way.  "--mirror" is for the command
line: 

    --mirror

        Turn on options suitable for mirroring.  This option turns
        on recursion and time-stamping, sets infinite recursion
        depth and keeps FTP directory listings.  It is currently
        equivalent to -r -N -l inf --no-remove-listing.

Also see if you can learn anything useful from /usr/share/doc/wget
