GDPR requires that there be a lawful basis for processing personal data (e.g explicit consent). If the archiving service is releasing the data without the explicit consent of the individuals involved and doesn't have another lawful basis for processing, it could potentially be in violation of GDPR.
Under GDPR, data subjects have certain rights, including the right to access their personal data, the right to rectification if the data is inaccurate, the right to erasure (also known as the "right to be forgotten"), the right to restrict processing, the right to data portability, and the right to object to processing. By releasing a torrent of the dataset, the archiving service is very likely to be infringing on these rights.
