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.

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.
