This is a minor but important update – all Windows users must switch to this version if they want to be able to transfer files. This introduces a lot of bugfixes and some changes to match recent modifications to the protocol (nothing major, just reducing some overhead). Apparently it’s also much better on Windows 7. 
Windows users should click here to download the latest version! Linux users should pull from the git repository (more info on the Downloads page).
I’ve created two test atorrents for you to experiment with. The first is Patent Absurdity, a new documentary about software patents (CC-BY-SA). It features interviews with Tim Lee, who I met at the Free Culture X conference in DC. He is the man, you should listen to what he has to say!
The other is Collateral Murder, the complete footage of the film recently released by WikiLeaks.
If you download either of the atorrents, please seed them for as long as you can! I’m seeding them, but I don’t have very much bandwidth (1 DSL shared by twelve machines..) The network around our tracker is getting dangerously small, which is why transfers aren’t starting for some people. Also, please make sure that you forward your ports to your machine so that other people can connect to you! By default, Anomos uses 5061, but you can change this in the settings if you want to use the BitTorrent default of 6881.
Happy seeding,
Rich
“Patent_Absurdity_HD_3540kbit.ogv” : Aborting the torrent as it was rejected by the tracker while not connected to any peers. Message from the tracker: you sent me garbage – Incorrect padding
It would be nice if you named the py files differently from the original Bittorrent. Eg with a anomos- prefix.
asd – what were you using to connect with? They do have a new prefix, they are anondownloadgui.py, etc.
What do you have and where did you get it?
Sorry, should have mentioned it. http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=23427
Using: $ btdownloadgui
Help -> About: Anomos 0.0.0, but the file is from today.
Hi Rich
I have downloaded and installed Anomos 0.9.2 for Windows and downloaded Patent_Absurdity_HD_3540kbit. All appears to be working okay but how / where do I find other atorrents to download?
Steve
I replied but apparently the comment was deemed spam.
I use the archlinux AUR package (not linking this time…) which installs from git.
Steve – yes, exactly. Somebody needs to step up and house some atorrents.
ASD – The arch linux package is painfully out of date. It is .5, not .9.2
