Ah I see. But this is precisely a usecase for cloudflare's own caching service.

It wouldn't be fair to use archive.org's community-sponsored resources for propping up businesses which are too cheap to pay for proper IT :)

While it's not explicitly mentioned, I think Cloudflare is providing financial support to the Internet Archive.

One would hope so. Considering the timing relative to the IA's potentially very expensive legal battle, I full expect this to be the case. Still, considering CF's anti-privacy/anti-TOR stance this is a deal with the devil. Guess I should give money directly to the IA. Considering how much value they provide, I'll do this immediately after updating this post.
