<font face="Comic Sans MS">I agree with you. Wget saved him
having to right click and save as for each of hundreds if not
thousands of files. Using wget to do this would make it a lot
easier for someone to steal lots of data. If he knew it wasn't
allowed, he shouldn't have used it. Still some of the blame has
to lie with the Army's IT people who didn't configure the
computers so that they wouldn't run unauthorized software.<br>
<br>
On a related note, 30+ years ago Russian dissidents would flee
Russia, tell the world what horrible things the Russian government
was doing to its own people, then settle in the US. Now the
dissident flees the US, tells the world what terrible things the
US is doing to its own people, then settles in Russia.<br>

If there is an actual reason, it is more likely to be its
extreme versatility to be able to download a LOT of files
without foreknowledge of what will be downloaded.<br>

BTW, wget is available for virtually all platforms.<br>

<div dir="ltr">Agreed, Eric. It makes no sense
whatever. The judge should be reviewed. That
said, did the guy download wget knowing it was
"banned"? Why should it be banned? maybe there
is/was a reason but I don't know what it might be.<br>
