        Try:  -restrictions=disk_save

        It's described in the command line and online help, and in
the man page.

        It, unfortunately, does not also block the save to disk option
in the 'p'rint menu, only in the 'd'ownload menu.  Seems like it should
apply to both, so that would be a worthwhile project for a patch.
