So, you’d like to anonymously share files with Anomos. This short guide will teach you how!

First, you’ll need to download and install the program on your system. See the ‘Downloads’ link above. Then, open up the program and go to File – Make a New Atorrent, like below.

This will bring up this screen. Add the files or directories you wish to share. If you wish to use our tracker, leave the Announce URL the same, or if you wish to share on another tracker, use the complete URL which they provide you with. When you are finished, press Make.

This will create your_filename.atorrent in the directory where your files are. Now, in the main client, open that .atorrent and when asked where to save, point it to the files you are trying to share. (On some older linux systems, you may need to type ‘.’ when sharing directories.)

Then, to share your files with other people, you will need to send them your .atorrent file. You can do this via email or via the web. (This is an important step, but if you aren’t careful, you may compromise your anonymity. If you are using the web to publish your torrents, you may want to do so through Tor. ) Then, when other people open the file, they will be able to download the file from you over the Anomos network.
