"Anomos is a pseudonymous, encrypted multi-peer-to-peer file
distribution protocol. It is based on the peer/tracker concept of
BitTorrent in combination with an onion routing anonymization layer,
with the added benefit of end-to-end encryption," is how the Anomos team
describes its project.
Anomos is one of the few free multi-platform solutions for BitTorrent users to hide their IP-addresses. The downside is that it's not fully compatible with regular torrent files as Anomos uses its own atorrent format. Another drawback is that the download speeds are generally lower than regular BitTorrent transfers.
On the uTorrent Idea Bank, more than 1,600 people have asked for the Anomos protocol to be built into a future uTorrent build, making it the second most-popular suggestion overall.

Anomos 0.9.5 For:
Anomos is a pseudonymous, encrypted multi-peer-to-peer
file distribution protocol. It is based on the peer/tracker concept of
BitTorrent in combination with an onion routing anonymization layer,
with the added benefit of end-to-end encryption. By combining these
technologies, we have created a platform where by no party outside of
the trusted tracker will have any information about who a peer is or
what they are downloading.
Anomos is designed to be easy to use – you won’t even be aware of the security that it provides. Anybody who is already familiar with BitTorrent won’t have to do anything differently, other than use ‘atorrent’ files rather than ‘torrent’ files.
A more technical introduction is avaliable in this blog post.
It’s a bit outdated, as the final protocol is still under active
development. Soon, we’ll be releasing a complete guide to the Anomos
protocol. The FAQ may provide some answers to any questions you may have.Anomos is designed to be easy to use – you won’t even be aware of the security that it provides.
