From his telegram
I will be releasing a torrent file that should be spread to as many people as possible. Please only use torrent if you absolutely know what you are doing. It is possible to dox yourself with torrents if you don’t correctly setup your security.
edit: Don’t stay up late waiting for this torrent, it is still being prepared and needs hours to complete.
If one person holds an important file, that person is an easy target. If a million people hold an important file, the file becomes an impenetrable shield for all.
What does this accomplish in this case? (Curious.) All the IPs will likely be tracked on the torrent anyway... Couldn't this be counterproductive?
Good question.
Many network mechanisms track connection times.
Most ISPs will traffic shape and do more to long running file transfers and they tend to also audit - specifically what ports traffic is being sent over.
BitTorrent isn’t new - most of them have ways of tracking / throttling and know VPNs are involved.
Every time you connect to a swarm from a new IP these reactions in the ISP side reset.
They really don’t play whack-a-mole well so it’s nothing but benefits for you.
Years back I was in a swarm where the contents was from a hack on the Rockefeller private data collection.
Insane shit. Manuals for deep underground military bases snd more.
Lots of folks on VPNs were contacted.
But muh no logs........ ;)
