There is only so much internet to go around and if you hog it all there will be less for everyone else, dummy.

Why do I feeling Microsoft are going to use that as official PR statement when people start complaining that the infinite power of the cloud isnt making their games prettier

so we won't know what is in this until after most of the conferences anyway I mean how fast can someone really DL 1.7TB on Google Fiber even?

Well, it could be something cool, like the source code to every Microsoft product ever made.

My money though is on a rick roll video.

how do we even know it's encrypted?

Not sure, but I'm guessing it should be anyway if it's an 'insurance' torrent. I'm guessing if he gets touched or anything then the key will be proliferated through the internet??

I must admit haven't followed the story at all and this is just speculation/guesswork on my part?
 
I don't really deal with such things or have knowledge of them. What does he mean by encrypted?(I know the basic meaning)

And what's supposed to all be in the package?

I think it's just an educated guess, it's something that would serve his purposes, but I believe it can be validated from the first portions that are download.

edit: Oh well, the file type says it all.

Assange did something similar, didn't he?

He is trapped at an embassy and we are still waiting for the key.

Edit: BTW, i bet he doesn't know a thing, i still remember when both XB1 and PS4 specs were leaked and yet he was claiming XB1 specs were old and that's why they looked inferior to the PS4 ones.

He tried to become famous and hope that MS or any other company would hire him for his hacking skills. The truth it's his strategy completly back fired.

I was kidding but I guess bandwidth is not an infinite resource.

I have 0 idea about how bandwidth is prioritized on the internet between high speed and low speed connections (not kidding!)

Can I suggest a Cisco crash-course, should give you the basics. The internet works a bit different from how you think it does, I believe :p

Can't believe anyone would consider downloading anything from an alleged paedophile.

How do you know he is an "alleged paedophile"? You don't even know he was charged with cp to begin with - and since he is a 17 year old child, lots of technically illegal material still don't make him a paedophile.

You are jumping to a lot of conclusions.

When you go to download it, the file name is "insurance.aes256", AES256 is a type of encryption. Unless he did something silly like change the extension to throw people off the tracks.

I know what AES is but don't have a torrent-client here. Well, a "file $file" what gives a hint what the file really is, of course ;)
 
Honestly I wouldn't trust downloading that file, what the hell does he have that takes up 1.7 TB? That is such an insane amount of data its unfathomable that this guy is anything but full of shit right?
 
I could get this in about 50 hours or so but no way am I going to just for an encrypted file.

A legit file could easy contain that much info but it would be made up of alpha builds and game assets he stole over the years. 1.7TB is not a huge amount when it comes to these kind of things.

I really doubt its child porn, Distributing child porn would get him a much worse sentence than if he had it on his computer.

Why is this thread called "Pre-E3"?
How do we know there is any connection between this and E3?

I hope I missed something.

SuperDAE, the guy who's currently being pursued by tons of powerful people, puts up a torrent with supposed leaked content from those powerful people.

What if it's his plan to seed all that stuff, and then try and get a deal for the encryption key (Assuming it's a unique, heavy encryption key he invented.) for the files -- threatening to release it or give it to them for a reduced sentence? :p

I don't think it's a good idea to download it.
