In another thread, I mentionned my search for search apps.
[Background]
As you may not know, our President Nicolas Sarkozy had one of his ministers create a liberticid law against file sharing.
Private companies list ips on p2p softs, mails are sent to adresses connected to those ips. After 2 warings, a real mail
After that mail the internet is cut off for months and you still have to pay for it...
There's no judgment and you can not defend yourself.
Sarkozy already succeeded in doing the same with automated speedcameras and fines. You cannot refuse to pay, it's only after you pay you can sue, but they don't care.

So the idea is to list p2p apps with greater anonymity...
I just tried OneSwarm
It's developped by people at the university of Whashington
If I understood correctly, everynode in the swarm use crypted adresses, requests are anonymised and sent in multiple loops, coming back from multiple places. No man in the middle method can help you finding who shares what and where... On the paper at least.
The advantage is that it's simple and integrates a torrent client (not anonymous obviously...)
The drawback is that it's too simple for the moment, and you can't fine tune the torrent part for example.
To me, the idea used by OneSwarm could easily be integrated in any torrent software...
In the past I tried Freenet
Not that easy to use, very slow because no one uses it. it was last year, so maybe it's better now.
GnuNet
Same problem as Freenet
Anonymous browsing with TOR
Works quite well for low bandwidth pages, you get 20/40 KB/s average for light browsing.
It's getting better because there's more and more users..
Feel free to add ideas, soft
Thanks
