Title: On Friday there was a thread about &quot;who&#x27;s behind Archive.today?&quot; [0], and it linked to a post by the developer saying [1]:<p><i>Archive.today is doomed to eventually die.</i><p>It&#x27;s estimated the quantity of data under management is 1 petabyte.  Given they&#x27;ve been going for around 8-10 years, we can extrapolate this is only 100-150 terabytes per year.<p>While not completely trivial, this is only 5 or 6 hard drives at today&#x27;s maximum capacity of 28TB.<p>What if the developer published the data to a torrent on a monthly or other periodic basis?  While not completely legal, it would enable their legacy to live on indefinitely and ensure future access to a lot of information.<p>[0] <i>Archive.today: on the trail of mysterious guerrilla archivists of the Internet</i> - https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=37009598 - Aug 2023 (58 comments)<p>[1] <i>&quot;archive.today is doomed to die&quot;</i> https:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.archive.today&#x2F;post&#x2F;657822115776610304&#x2F;not-respecting-peoples-privacy-copyright-laws
