At the bandwidth levels they are using they would need to use Cloudflare Enterprise, and in my experience that is way more expensive than other CDN providers.

At the bandwidth levels they are using they would need to use Cloudflare Enterprise, and in my experience that is way more expensive than other CDN providers.
Also, since archive.org has so much content, the caching ratio is going to be very bad and kill CDN efficiency while still requiring lots of direct bandwidth.
Cheap direct bandwidth in their case looks best(which is what they seem to be doing).
- highclass 6y agoAnother aspect is they are actually using bandwidth to max and have a cap on usage spending. No CDN I know of allows capping bandwidth usage. The way they use bandwidth means the most efficent GB/dollar cost although at the cost of poor performance.
