Apparently ArchiveTeam's Distributed Preservation of Service efforts downloaded 123 GB from this site, all of it will be going to archive.org.

Archive.org will make it useless. Try searching for anything in the web.archive.org search and it barely returns anything.

Try "CRT Nikkor", won't turn up anything relevant, yet within their dataset:

dpreview results turn up in Google, web archive does not. This isn't really preserved in a usable way at all.

ArchiveTeam's general idea is to archive it first, and make it usable later. Wayback Machine is generally how stuff is "made usable", but in cases like this, a searchable index might need to made. (That's been done before, though - it's not like it's never happened.)

With archive.org about to become the private property of book publishers, it seems like all that effort is going to go to waste.

Maybe do something about that?

AT != archive.org. Also, archive.org web archive and its digital library with a lending feature are two different things.
