I have suggested a solution on other threads that involves Seafile's free file syncing software (seafile.com). You would have a permanent, fail safe setup for all files related to the investigation.
To employ this, someone would need to volunteer a server to host and serve the files (and allow contributors to upload). Then, Seafile would be used to mirror the data on computers worldwide.
The advantages are that numerous computers worldwide ("mirrors")will have an identical copy of the files and the files are stored in native format. So, if any computer in the network is compromised or unavailable, the public can use an alternate source for getting their files. Since the files are stored in native format, all files could be accessed through a web browser from any of the mirrors at any time.
This would be a nice solution if we wouldn't have a party trying to take down centrilized information distribution,
The requirement for a system like this is decentrilization, no single node should have the power to take out information.
A blockchain based system would be the safest, but it might be too early and technique not ready yet. IPFS is a better way but IPFS does still require you to "add a torrent"
What we need is some sort of p2p software, decentrilized, in which you can subscribe to a repository or something. If something updates in a repo there should be immediate distribution across the peers.
Could bring some security problems like overflowing the network to disrupt the distribution.
That's why a blockchain solution should be the best, if we can find or create something like this we are safe.
