RE: https://mastodon.archive.org/@internetarchive/117275710069576084 I was rate limited by the Internet Archive after a rather prolific run of research and link checking for an ongoing project. After contacting them and explaining the situation, my IP address was unflagged within a couple of hours. The folks running the archive are wonderful and are doing their very best to keep this invaluable resource accessible, despite the onslaught of rude scapers and freeloading bots.
