P2P has been suggested, and while I make no comments about P2P itself... What about Freenet? It hides the origin of the file(s), it's truly distributed, it's encrypted, it's authenticated, and it will do your dishes. Okay, so it won't actually do your dishes. But it seems to do everything that most other people have suggested. It's incredibly difficult to DoS a Freenet node, and it's incredibly easy to set one up (just requires some hefty CPU).
