They were bound to come after the archive sites at some point, because they allow people to see information the Trump government has deleted. We need a distributed, resilient archive, but the storage requirements are huge.

    It would be cool if there was some technology similar to BitTorrent that allows people to seed a large archive but based on whatever storage they’re able to contribute instead of the whole file.

    There have been internet distributed file systems, but they tend to be very slow, availability can be patchy, and the capacity ordinary users could contribute wouldn't be anywhere near enough for an internet archive.
