Other way around! Cloudflare can optionally load your site from IA if it's down.

That is about us using the Internet Archive to show a snapshot of a page from the Internet Archive when the origin server is down.

I kind of agree, but the way the internet is going, with everyone being behind carrier-grade nat, it's not much of a decentralized network of computers anymore, not to mention all the kids with their laptops and tablets not even hosting anything :(
UPnP exists and allow devices to ask the router to open a port to them.
UPnP is useless with CGNAT (Carrier Grade NAT), which is what the op is talking about.
There are other ways to get seeding working, though, including IPV6, which is gaining adoption, so I don't agree with the OP.

#24It would be better if the Internet Archive was decentralized without a central point of failure, maybe run on something like bittorent.
You say this as if it is an original idea. Of course the IA is working on this and have been for over 6 years. There already is a DWeb version. They have been advancing DWeb infrastructure. The IA hosts all kinds of DWeb developer events. But it is over 50 petabytes and the IA gets a huge amount of traffic through the regular web that they need to serve quickly and efficiently to their users. Guess what has happened…

It is not my original idea, but it is an obvious idea to anyone who knows how the internet works, I just added it to get the discussion going.
It already exists. IA has had a DWeb for 6 years. Nobody seeds it.
Incentivising seeding is hard. Maybe cryptocurrencies can be useful here, but I understand not everyone likes them especially here on HN. In retrospect the ideal setup would have been if archiving was included into the core HTTP protocol.

They black out all items that get a DMCA complaint or similar request (so it's still there just not accessible). However they permanently delete illegal stuff.
I would assume they delete illegal stuff as they are compelled to. What I'd like to know is their policy for legal stuff that they exclude that is not as a result of DMCA.
Can you give an example?
EDIT: Just seen your other reply. Perhaps it was excluded due to right to forget laws?

If I help seed this DWeb and it turns out it has some copyrighted materials in it, will I be potentially held liable?
