Sorry to say, archive.org is under a ddos attack. The data is not affected, but most services are unavailable.

We are working on it. This thread will have updates.

up again.

This has been a back and forth with the attackers. We have made some adjustments, but geez.

at least, Happy Memorial Day!

The Internet Archive has a Mastodon account as well, though it doesn't seem to be fully up to date.

I wouldn't be surprised, because it's happened before, that the Internet Archive has been attacked legally by copyright firms for what is hosted there. Like music, games and books in particular.

So it's likely that it isn't suits attacking Internet Archive for this reason, it's presumably a mixed batch of copyright trolls and spiteful shitty human beings with too much time on their hands.
