I don't want to make my new archive (I mean, I don't mind, but that's not my point). I want to crowd-host a piece of the OG Archive.

- nikisweeting 6y agoYeah, I do agree that crowd-hosting a piece of Archive.org on a distributed filesystem would be better. I say exactly that towards the end of my "Intro to the Internet Archiving world" talk here too: https://github.com/pirate/internet-archiving-talk https://github.com/pirate/internet-archiving-talk I think they've thought about IPFS and BitTorrent in the past, but 50PB is a lot of data and they already have a few redundant backups around the world that are hard enough to manage as-is. Hopefully the latest round of lawsuits and public support pushes them more in the direction of letting the public help them with hosting.
