Does anyone know the status of this whole release. The metadata was hosted, and now not hosted. I saw a torrent leaked of unpopular tracks.

No statements or blogs from AA explaining the metadata removal, or an updated release timeline.

Can anyone say more?

They did describe why briefly on reddit, saying it drew too much attention: https://torrentfreak.com/images/aaconf.png

I guess I'm a little surprised that they felt this release was too hot. I'm not really surprised at the response from the music industry, but rather I thought AA was more confident in their opsec/safety from this sort of threat.

I would assume it's moreso they don't want to lose their domains too quickly. Though they've only given one sentence to go off, so it's hard to speculate.
