Yes, Wayback machine/archive.org is one of the best websites on the whole world wide web.

I'm unemployed and on a tight budget, and I still give a recurring donation to archive.org

It's that important.

Agreed and that's why there's an incentive to DDoS it and degrade the quality. Are there any p2p backup solutions?

  • There are some various attempts, the problem is reliability - not that they're always up, but how do you trust them? If archive.org shows a page at a date, you presume it is true and correct. If I provide a PDF of a site at a date, you have no reason to believe I didn't modify the content before PDFing it.
