In +terms of usability, users should be aware that there are still a large +number of known open issues in particular with respect to ease of use, +but also some critical privacy issues especially for mobile users. +Also, the nascent network is tiny (~200 peers) and thus unlikely to +provide good anonymity or extensive amounts of interesting +information. As a result, the 0.11.0 release is still only suitable +for early adopters with some reasonable pain tolerance. + +<h4>Download links</h4> +<p> + <ul> + <li><a href="http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/gnunet/gnunet-0.11.0.tar.gz">http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/gnunet/gnunet-0.11.0.tar.gz</a></li> + <li><a href="http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/gnunet/gnunet-0.11.0.tar.gz.sig">http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/gnunet/gnunet-0.11.0.tar.gz.sig</a></li> + <li><a href="http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/gnunet/gnunet-gtk-0.11.0.tar.gz">http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/gnunet/gnunet-gtk-0.11.0.tar.gz</a></li> + <li><a href="http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/gnunet/gnunet-gtk-0.11.0.tar.gz.sig">http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/gnunet/gnunet-gtk-0.11.0.tar.gz.sig</a></li> + <li><a href="http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/gnunet/gnunet-fuse-0.11.0.tar.gz">http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/gnunet/gnunet-fuse-0.11.0.tar.gz</a></li> + <li><a href="http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/gnunet/gnunet-fuse-0.11.0.tar.gz.sig">http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/gnunet/gnunet-fuse-0.11.0.tar.gz.sig</a></li> + </ul> +Note that GNUnet is now started using <tt>gnunet-arm -s</tt>.
