I tried to archive a page and it started after ~5 seconds, even though the queue is long (2173). They seem to have different priorities for different IPs/URLs.

I tried to archive a page and it started after ~5 seconds, even though the queue is long (2173). They seem to have different priorities for different IPs/URLs. While I'm sure some abuse the service, the long queue could be just a side effect of them being more popular now than they used to be. I find myself using them, archive.org, and Google cache more now because of geo blocks and/or pages that are hard to view.
