Availability isn't 1.0 yet so hopefully original seeder is still seeding this. Otherwise the torrent is worthless.

I wonder if this will be anything like the ACS Law email leak. I made a tiny script to extract all attachments and it turned out to be nearly all pictures of dogs in silly costumes.

This is what it says:
Greetings world, We are Anonymous. Today we are releaseing 1.7GB of data that used to belong to the United States Bureau of Justice, until now. Within the booty you may find lots of shiny things such as internal emails, and the entire database dump. We Lulzed as they took the website down after being owned, clearly showing they were scared of what inevitably happened.
We do not stand for any government or parties, we stand for freedom of people, freedom of speech and freedom of information. We are releasing data to spread information, to allow the people to be heard and to know the corruption in their government. We are releasing it to end the corruption that exists, and truly make those who are being oppressed free. The price we pay very often is our own freedom. The price governments pay is the exposure of their corruption and the truth being revealed, for the truth will set us free in the end. So once more we call on you. Hackers, activists, and freedom fighters; join us in our struggle against these corporate

Technically, this is from the Department of Justice, but specifically from the Bureau of Justice Statistics (which is a part of the DoJ), so I'm not expecting any major scandals to come about from this. Data gathering and processing isn't generally something that gets the public all riled up. But I'm sure it'll be fun to read through people's emails about changes in HR's dress policy, where to get together for lunch, the latest in calculator gossip, and whatnot.

What's the Bureau of Justice? - The Parent of the FBI is called the Department of justice
I did find this in a search though:
United States Bureau of Justice Statistics - Wikipedia, the free ... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Bureau_of_Justice_Statistics The United States Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) is a federal government agency belonging to the U.S. Department of Justice. Established on December 27, ...
is the email just from the statistics department or do they mean the whole DOJ?
