FWIW, Assange's counsel mistated that Cryptome hosted, and still 
hosts, the State Department cables. Cryptome posted, and still hosts, 
the torrents for accessing the cable files after decrypting the 
torrents with the book-published password. But did not publish the 
very large files themselves.

Of the three encrypted files only one, the y-file, could be decrypted 
with the password, not x and z. Still don't know what is in x and z.

https://cryptome.org/xyz/y-docs.gpg.torrent

https://cryptome.org/xyz/y-gpg.torrent

https://cryptome.org/xyz/z-gpg.torrent

Cryptome archived the decrypted y file, cables.csv (1.7GB), but did 
not publish it.

Not aware of where or who hosted the files accessed by the torrents.

Don't know if the others who downloaded the torrents then decrypted 
and published all of them.

If not, it is possible WikiLeaks first published the unredacted 
files, maybe all of them, thinking that others had already done so.
