Peer Blocker or Peer Guardian for Zorin 9?

I use transmission and am unable to access any options within it. Although I would like to, I desire additional security and anonymity. Windows has its fair share of options. the software center did not provide me with any choices. I may not have looked them up correctly. I have seen options for older distros of ubuntu nothing for 14.04 though. What is recommended?

Have you tried anomos?

No I have not. Please Elaborate.

After Downloading and Extracting a file designated for linux, how does one go about installing a/the program?

I suggest meeting the dependencies first
sudo apt-get install openssl python-m2crypto

then cloning the repo for latest source with git
git clone git://anomos.info/git/anomos.git

goto your anomos folder
cd ~/anomos/

and run
python anondownloadgui.py

And by no means i suggest using this software for anything illegal.

Personally I use "deluge" for my torrent client, it has many more features than transmission. You may have better luck finding a plugin for deluge than transmission.

@qnarkill
You lost me after the terminal command. apologies, I am quite the novice. I couldn't locate said file. Why do I need python? Is'nt there a way to treat the tar.gz file as a package and install it as is? Please elaborate.
I only use for legal applications.

@Linx
If you told me deluge had features that made it comparable to Anomos we'd have something to go off of.

Deluge is very much like utorrent and can easily be installed by running

Code:

sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install deluge

If you don't like it you can remove it just as easy!

Code:

sudo apt-get purge deluge; sudo apt-get autoremove

As far as the .tar.gz That is normally used for source code, it is not a package and can not be treated like one =[


*edit - added information on how to uninstall deluge

Which one? Or do you mean just open terminal, ctrl+alt+t.
Anomos runs on python so you have to have it to be enable to run the program.
The program needs no install what so ever so just unzipit to folder where you want to run it from.

@Linx
I downloaded Deluge, but looking at it, Both Transmission and Deluge have a Blocklist feature (granted it appears that Deluge has other options as well)
im still working with the block list feature.

@qnarkill
"then cloning the repo for latest source with git
git clone git://anomos.info/git/anomos.git
goto your anomos folder
cd ~/anomos/
and run
python anondownloadgui.py"

its at that point I was lost.
After I have the Tar.gz file and I extract it to a folder how do I run it? Where is the "cd ~/anomos/" located
I ran the first sudo.apt-get and i would assume I have the python.

When using a blocklist for either Transmission or Deluge can you just drag and drop from site to program, or do you need to copy it to the computer, extract it, then compress it then put it in the program? I'm hearing both. I intend on using both Anomos and the blocklist option. Is there an issue with using both, as in do they counter each other in any way?

You can extract tar.gz file to which ever folder to choose to and run the program with command python anondownloadgui.py from that folder.

In the example i wrote where everything’s working straight by copy pasting i used the git clone command which automatically makes a folder called anomos to your home folder and downloads the scripts there. Cd stands to change directory command and ~/anomos/ is a path to your home folder where is a folder called anomos.

"git clone git://anomos.info/git/anomos.git" in the Terminal responded with "The program 'git' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install git"
So I am installing it, its been awhile since I've installed something but it feels like it stopped midway.
"Selecting previously unselected package git-man.

Shouldn't there be some Conclusion or confirmation of completion?
This is becoming tedious. on a side note not sure if its connected, I've been getting a "Warning Unresponsive Script" "A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding." on firefox.

Im running sudo apt-get upgrade for comparison.

quite odd, i would try removing git and reinstall,
apt-get remove --purge packagename

"apt-get remove --purge packagename
E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13: Permission denied)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?"

do this as sudo and change packagename to that which you installed. Or maybe its just easier that you unzip the package to some folder and run it.

"Or maybe its just easier that you unzip the package to some folder and run it."
Which file, folder, do I run? There are .py files .txt files and .pot files. and 6 sub folders.

hehe, any, you can choose whatever folder it does not matter.

But lets say you extract all in /home/your_name_i_dont_know_it/anomos folder.


Then go to that folder and run from terminal,

python anondownloadgui.py

that will start the program.
