Emscher
Emscher P2P is an new filesharing client for anonymous file sharing. It uses a new protocol featuring data encryption and indirect routing(The data will not be transfered directly between two clients, it will be redirected through several Emscher-Hubs)

It uses a protocoll similar to Gnutella. The communication between two Clients is AES(Rijndael) encrypted. While exchanging the AES-Key between two Clients the connection will be RSA-Encrypted.


In this release many core bugs has been fixed(like writing wrong file data, using a wrong emscheraddress/corrupted header id etc). Then the id-generator has been improved to make the ids more unique. Also the home page has been removed.
