I wrote a little program to ease my use of wget with Tor/Polipo/Privoxy:

% cat tor-wget
#!/bin/bash -x
export http_proxy=3D127.0.0.1:8118
export https_proxy=3D127.0.0.1:8118
wget -U " " $@
EOF

I also started working on a patch to nmap with Fyodor to work with SOCKS
proxies; it's in my (ioerror) svn branch on the nmap subversion server.
It sorta works but it's not great for anonymity because of the many
kinds of packets that nmap wants to send.

All the best,
Jacob
