@cognish I uploaded the same file and it was instant, re-encrypted with a different recipient's key and it was instant as well.

Maybe there was just a hiccup on the backend.

Great service otherwise

@cognish the upload actually completed very quickly, it just hung for an entire minute afterward before i got a link to the file.

I'll try again and see if I can replicate.

@cognish ~20-25MB

FOR SCIENCE!

another article based on an actual event: "The Weather Channel compromised by Malware Attack" lifted from infosecnews.org.

"Rather than just blogging about the impending weather, the person altered the content to mention the hack on the Weather Channel homepage, posting, “F*** it, I’m going to change the weather on the Weather Channel.” "

Crazy question:
