Internet Archive the first decentralized Web is online

The Internet Archive or Archive.org is a nonprofit organization that stores web snapshots so we can see them even if they have been deleted or changed.

Although there are several websites such as Archive.org that store content posted on the Internet, there are also legal actions, h , DDOS attacks and Internet outages that make the task of storing and maintaining data difficult.Internet Archive

For these reasons, the Archive.org tests a decentralized version or a DWeb version web versions, which allows their content to be served over peer-to-peer connections from different hosts that share parts or all of the content. Yes something like the Torrent protocol.

The decentralized version of Archive.org exists in the domain https://dweb.me/ ή https://dweb.archive.org/ and a combination of HTTP and peer-to-peer protocols such as yjs, IPFS, WebTorrent and GUN to serve the content.

Archive.org version D is a bit slower than the regular version, but it keeps the content alive. At the moment you will notice some peculiar behaviors, such as the absence of some images or images that are not displayed correctly, but in general it works quite well.

When viewing larger content, such as a video, it will take a little longer to connect to P2P users to download content.

Although this project seems very interesting, there is no more information on how users can get involved in the decentralized version of the Internet Archive or who may be distributing the content.

Meanwhile, Archive.org (Internet Archive) has not published any official announcement for the DWeb project. However, the website has from time to time shown its interest in decentralized internet as you will see in the link with the FAQ below:
