Where can I get the latest wallet?
You can build by yourself gr_develop, which was recently patched for a header first synchronisation bug and addrman issue; and which is the best version currently available https://wiki.anoncoin.net/How_to_build_Anoncoin_develop
Alternatively here is a link to the win64 executable from my website: www.cryptoslave.com/yo/anoncoin-0.9.6.9-0e35c18-win64-setup.exe
It is stable for mining, but I cannot vouch for commercial use...

BTW, now there are two qt version: qtc (classic) and qtt (themes)
qtt does not work for win64 due to Qt issue, so you can only run anoncoin-qtc; and at the end of setup it will not run even if asked, because the setup is still configured for anoncoin-qt, which does not exist anymore..
Secondly, it may seems to not advance in block synchronisation from scratch, if you look at bottom on main wallet GUI. But in fact it does! You can check the advance in the Help - Debug window - Network Traffic tab.
At first, headers are downloaded and proof of work are verified, this takes lots of computing power and only 50 MB of bandwidth. During this time you will see little spike in the network traffic, from only one peer, but almost no block synchronisation as that thread is not run alot during this time.
After a couple of hours it will finish to process the headers then will start to download all the blocks in parallel from all connected peers. At this point the blocks number will increase in the main wallet GUI as well as the bandwidth usage in Network Traffic.
If you want to know how far the headers are downloaded, type this in console (Help - Debug window - Console)
Code:
getchaintips
-> you will see the valid headers downloaded and the active chain (+ forks)
Code:
getchaintips

So in this case the headers are almost finished to dowload, when it reach the tip of the block chain (475324 at present time) it will start to download the blocks at a much increased pace, from all your connected peers.
