Do you know where the traffic is coming from? Is it somebody training models? Or a DDOS, possibly from MAGA/the Trump regime because they don't want people to have access to historical truth? I asked this question on the blog and it didn't survive moderation.

Would you consider making it easier to download a .zip file of an entire site? Some of us want to browse ancient internet forums, and doing that on the Wayback site itself doesn't work. I want to take the whole site snapshot and reorganize it into a read-only database so it can actually be browsed.
