51The \fB\-a\fR option can be used to specify additional anonymity constraints. If set to 0, GNUnet will publish the file non-anonymously and in fact sign the advertisement for the file using your peer's private key. This will allow other users to download the file as fast as possible, including using non-anonymous methods (DHT, direct transfer). If you set it to 1 (default), you use the standard anonymous routing algorithm (which does not explicitly leak your identity). However, a powerful adversary may still be able to perform traffic analysis (statistics) to over time infer data about your identity. You can gain better privacy by specifying a higher level of anonymity, which increases the amount of cover traffic your own traffic will get, at the expense of performance. Note that regardless of the anonymity level you choose, peers that cache content in the network always use anonymity level 1. 51The \fB\-a\fR option can be used to specify additional anonymity constraints.

53The definition of the ANONYMITY LEVEL is the following. 0 means no anonymity is required. Otherwise a value of 'v' means that 1 out of v bytes of "anonymous" traffic can be from the local user, leaving 'v-1' bytes of cover traffic per byte on the wire. Thus, if GNUnet routes n bytes of messages from foreign peers (using anonymous routing), it may originate n/(v-1) bytes of data in the same time\-period. The time\-period is twice the average delay that GNUnet defers forwarded queries. 53The definition of the ANONYMITY LEVEL is the following. 0 means no anonymity is required.

55The default is 1 and this should be fine for most users. Also notice that if you choose very large values, you may end up having no throughput at all, especially if many of your fellow GNUnet\-peers all do the same. 55The default is 1 and this should be fine for most users.
