Academic Torrents
One problem with offering a dataset as a torrent is that it's impossible to edit it after it's released.  However, it seems like that doesn't matter at all in this case, because any scenario I can think of which could be solved by editing the dataset (like redacting private info that was accidentally included) wouldn't avoid the original problem: that they accidentally released private info in the first place.  Perhaps it'd be useful to edit the original dataset in order to add to it / enhance it with more info, but in that case they could just release a second dataset as an addendum.<p>So the core idea seems solid.  Thank you for this!
