Hi! I've tried to find out who the webmasters are on the related main page and around with no success, so I'm asking about it here.
Among other pages I browsed, I visited this one, where the non-requested bandwidth-consuming download occurred: https://media.libreplanet.org/u/libreplanet/m/locking-the-web-open-a-decentralized-web-that-can-operate-as-free-software-does/ The page appears to have automatically made my browser (Moonchild Productions Pale Moon 29.2.0) start downloading a 713M webm file. The file is: grandsun1715-grandsun1715.webm (as I've _later_ downloaded it to watch it), and it gets downloaded from the link on the page under: > Download > Original file the link being: https://media.libreplanet.org/mgoblin_media/media_entries/2335/grandsun1715.webm I concluded that only after analysis of the traffic dump pertaining to the time of browsing that page, as well as the screencast of the same time (I do dumping and casting routinely). It also wasn't useful, as I didn't know what was downloading, nor where (and I'm not that familiar with hacking the browser cache, yet). It was, likely, some preloading that really was not asked for. And as for some reason, later the TLS in the traffic dump wouldn't decrypt for the part of the TCP stream of the download (the huuge part; btw the dump would grind a non-modern pocessor to a halt with its hugeness). And not even did I get in Wireshark the reply to the http.request corresponding to the the download (which you only get in Wireshark once the download request is fully retrieved). It's probably the Javascript that the page calls, and it's probably non-intentional. Bug likely in the page and its software, as this does not happen to me on other video hosting pages with this browser. If this is enough to notify the admin of the page to correct the code, I've done my notification, if not, I am willing to tell more details.
