Support for Anomos

[semidemi]

I am just curious, what are the chances of something like the Anomos protocol being supported in future versions of qBittorrent. Maybe not in the near future but, it seems like it brought a lot of attention on the uTorrent idea Bank.

I want this supported

If I understand correctly libtorrent 0.16 is going to have an anonymous mode (soon?), also I'm pretty sure this 'Anomos' is it's own implementation i.e. nothing else uses it. Also, realize that the last update post to their website is 2010... I'd say it's likely abandoned.

'anonymous mode' in libtorrent has nothing to do with real anonymity.

anonymous_mode defaults to false. When set to true, the client tries to hide its identity to a certain degree. The peer-ID will no longer include the client's fingerprint. The user-agent will be reset to an empty string. Trackers will only be used if they are using a proxy server. The listen sockets are closed, and incoming connections will only be accepted through a SOCKS5 or I2P proxy (if a peer proxy is set up and is run on the same machine as the tracker proxy). Since no incoming connections are accepted, NAT-PMP, UPnP, DHT and local peer discovery are all turned off when this setting is enabled.
