   Of course it does.  It's already been established that "stopping"
   someone using wget in the manner they want suppresses freedom 0.
   Here you're just stating the contrary position without actually
   countering what you've quoted.

Freedom 0 does not give you a right to access someone elses software
on a different machine.  It only gives you the right to use the
software that you _already_ have, on _your_ machine.  That is all
Freedom 0 says.

   Not just that.  I want to download from gnuradio.org using wget to
   proxy over Tor.

Something that works.
