    Why put out a leak using mega‽

    Why not a torrent which is decentralised and not annoying like Mega

      If the feds connect to the tracker before the file is fully seeded, the IP address of the lone seeder will be exposed. Torrents are good for their resistance to censorship, but they’re bad for privacy.

        That can be solved by setting up multiple partial seeders, so none has the full file, but as a whole they can still seed it.

        And/or seeding over I2P.
