Why don't they invest some of the donation money in P2P DNS and start hosting the site as torrent ? Many people would be happy to seed.

- drdaeman 16y agoBecause Bittorrent-powered P2P DNS is a weird buzzword, not yet really existing piece of technology. And, I'd guess, WikiLeaks probably want to publish (primarily) on the mass-accessible Internet, not at some obscure place where nobody except for crypto-geeks could access it. They could try popularizing Freenet (which is already existing and is a fairly stable technology), but, again, I'd guess they probably have their hands full of other tasks already. WikiLeaks hosts torrents. For example see the link "Click here to download full site in single archive" at the bottom of http://cablegate.wikileaks.org/ http://cablegate.wikileaks.org/. And, I believe, the content is already copied to (and being discussed at) Freenet and other similiar P2P networks.
- mambodog 16y agoIf they used Freenet I can imagine the mainstream media going straight for the fact that Freenet is full of child porn. I don't think they need any more of that kind of publicity.
