A quick whois [1] against the original link by used by Cryptome suggests possible origin of leak is Phillip Bailey[2]. If /xyz/ existed within the contingency torrent which was released to the pirate bay (someone else confirm please :) then that suggests that he was just hosting a HTTP mirror of the torrent; if it doesn't exist then who knows how deep the rabbit hole goes?
