  It seems like most of the people in this thread care more about how you posted a title link to a huge zip file. Maybe next time you should do a "Show HN" and put the URL in the post text instead of as the title link.

You may want to pay for watching this movie, so they make more of the same. Vote with your wallet.
- sroerick 12y ago
  Agreed. Though, I don't know of any way to directly send money to Laura Poitras and co. I'm sure they would also appreciate donations made to the EFF.

  I wish I was able to watch it online somewhere and pay for it.

FYI: Local cinemas are still playing it, for those who enjoy the cinemas. I watched it in San Francisco, so check your local movie listings.

got a magnet uri for bittorrent instead?

  Downloads are so slow that I decided to host it on my own server, no bandwidth limit, should be faster. Enjoy! http://www.pilgrimbreak.com/citizenfour-hd-high-speed-download/ http://www.pilgrimbreak.com/citizenfour-hd-high-speed-downlo...

    Thanks for rehosting, but your version is definitely not HD, coming in at 640x360 resolution
    - cellover 12y ago
      I have uploaded the 3.4GB version too, sorry for the inconvenience.

Having the url point to an utterly huge file instead of a landing page can cause problems for some people. The default behavior on my phone in chrome, for example, is to start downloading in the background.
- q3k 12y ago
  It's perfectly fine to link to a large file directly - it seems like your browser is broken.
  - tombrossman 12y ago
    The browser isn't broken, this is the expected behavior. When you click a link for a downloadable file, your browser fetches it in the background since there is no page to display. The problem in this instance is that there is no 'landing page', it's just there on Cryptome in a big list of pages and other downloads. The real issue is Cryptome's spartan UX gives no easy way to handle this, it's either link to the home page with no context, or link to the file directly.
  - justin66 12y ago
    It's cute that you think so but this has always been the default behavior and this is the first time it has ever been an issue for me. It's not difficult to see why: ordinarily when you click on a link to huge file, you know you are clicking on a link to a huge file. I wonder if anyone who did so in this case knew what they were getting. (realistically, if you were on a desktop browser you would mouse over the url and notice it was linked to something stupid, but not on a touchscreen device)
- mrmondo 12y ago
  I think that's just pretty poor behavior on your browser / OS' behalf.

  Happened to me as well on my Android. Linking to a file is fine as long as the title makes that clear; maybe the title can be edited?

Go watch it on a big screen. The chilling effect is way bigger in a large audience than at home.

Linking straight to the file is going to be VERY expensive for people like me who pay per MB as it would automatically download in a lot of browsers when clicked. Do consider linking to a page that directs people to the file.
- cellover 12y ago
  Agreed! I uploaded the movie on my own server with a very short post to explain what it's all about. Download should be quite fast depending on your location. http://www.pilgrimbreak.com/citizenfour-hd-high-speed-download/ http://www.pilgrimbreak.com/citizenfour-hd-high-speed-downlo...

      Yes, sorry that, I am currently getting the Citizenfour.2014.720p.WEB-DL.AAC2.0.H264-FGT version and will update the post once ready.

This redistribution does not seem to be authorized by the copyright holders, and directly linking to the file doesn't seem to be appropriate for HN.
