Has wikileaks ever heard of bit torrent?


Yes, they use it. http://wikileaks-press.org:81/ Here are the torrents. But supporter sites are getting hit at above 10gbit/sec. You try dealing with that.


Yes, of course they have. Most of their files are bundled and released via BT.


They might have. But the problem for everyone would be proving authenticity of the million clones these torrents would have then. Another trojan-distribution opportunity?


Something that seems easy to verify with a digital signature?


While I agree, it would probably be trivial to DDOS everyone in the wikileaks swarm if they have managed to knock out all the mirrors.
