The Internet Archive or Archive.org is a non-profit organization that stores snapshots of web pages so that we can view them, even if they have been deleted or changed.
Although there are several websites such as Archive.org that store content posted on the Internetnetwork, there are also lawsuits, censorship, DDOS attacks, and Internet outages that make the task of storing and maintaining data difficult.
For these reasons, the Archive.org tests a decentralized version or DWeb version of their website, which allows their content to be served through peers' interfaces from different servers that share part 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 uses a combination of HTTP and peer-to-peer such as yjs, IPFS, WebTorrent and GUN for the projection of the content.
Version D of Archive.org is a bit more slow than the regular version, but it keeps the content alive. At the moment you might notice some odd behaviors like missing some images or images not displaying properly, but overall it works pretty well.
When viewing larger content, such as a video, it may take a while for you to connect with P2P users to download the 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:
