I don’t understand the advantage of people downloading sites and then uploading them to the archive setup by archive team. What is the advantage over archive team directly downloading sites into their archive?

A) It requires fewer resources from the archive team. B) Probably more importantly, it distributes where the requests are coming from so they're less likely to be throttled or blocked.

Archive Team isn’t Internet Archive.

They need somewhere to download things before pushing them to archive.org
