I'm sorry, but I think you have it backwards in terms of uselessness of replies on this thread. Ransom asked you a series of cordial, pointed questions wondering under what configuration you determined wget does not leak. The underlying point is that it would be neat if you've done a comprehensive analysis of a specific version of Tor, etc., etc. That would be useful to know. best, Joe -- Joseph Lorenzo Hall Postdoctoral Research Fellow Media, Culture and Communication New York University https://josephhall.org/ _______________________________________________ tor-talk mailing list [email protected] https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
