The ArchiveTeam has the ArchiveTeamWarrior project which is a small virtual machine or Docker instance that will help index and archive various sites based on need. For instance a big focus is on Reddit right now before the API access gets pulled or too many sites go dark permanently. This tool uses spare bandwidth from multiple locations (everyone running the tool) to not hit IP blocks due to rate limits or other issues that occur when trying to access as much of the site as possible.

Archive team is not affiliated with the Internet Archive (Archive.org) although Archive.org hosts the content. This is then made available via The Wayback Machine.

I’m on no cap fiber here. Might up my plan for the month to 1gb from 500/500. Either way, I’ll definitely run this on my server. Thanks for the idea!

Each Warrior can only work on one project at a time. You can spin up multiples and have them process different projects. Just remember to use "bridged" instead of "NAT" on the virtual adapter so they each get a unique local IP address.
