comment Privacy in torrents?
Not only is torrenting over Tor impractical in the first place, but many Tor exit nodes use traffic shaping to block BitTorrent traffic. The Tor model isn't suited to high bandwidth traffic.

comment Backup TrueCrypt hidden volume
This is the best way. The other solutions proposed would have you encrypt the data some other way, which potentially compromises its security (I would prefer to have my data encrypted only in one way; having it encrypted multiple ways gives my adversaries several different targets to pick from). 16 GB of data will not take a long time to copy unless you are using very old technology. I regularly backup 2 TB of encrypted data using dd.

What did your lawyer say? None of us can provide you with good legal advice; we're mostly technology people.

comment What are darknets, and how can they be used to provide security and anonymity in network communication?
I'm done with making changes this answer for tonight, so please feel free to edit it; I'll take another look at it tomorrow in case I missed anything. I've tried to change it to be more general while still providing comments based on my first-hand experience participating in darknets. Hope this helps someone!

I am currently working on rephrasing my answer here to meet this question (since it's not relevant to the actual question there) and will post it as community wiki shortly.

@DeerHunter I think you're right. I read the title (saw "darknet") and not much else in my excitement to finally have some experience to share. I'll post this as an answer on one of the other SEs and delete this response.
