Haha.  This is great.  It's like source quench on methamphetamines:

"The main problem is the file transfer. If you don't know the senders
address (as all the packets have spoofed source addresses and ports),
it is very hard to deal with flow control. Currently, we are thinking
of using packet sequence numbers, and slowly ramping up the sending
speed. When a packet gets lost, the receiving machine will have to
broadcast a "slow down" packet and hope that the sending machine
gets this message. We aren't implementing this yet, as we are testing
it on a LAN."

... but I can't seem to find the part where it said "release date april 1st."
I knew that implementing an anonymizing mixnet took some work, but
it seems like these guys are going a bit too far out of their way
to avoid it.
