Sounds like a great addition!

I wouldn't want to use that logic to add *any* website, but I think we
like archive.org at least as much as we like Google and Dropbox.

Interesting. Actually, you can go directly to [1] and you'll get Tor Browser 
from archive.org. GetTor API already generates URLs to download 
the latest version from tpo, so we could easily generate something like [1] and 
send it via GetTor as well. We also trust other providers like 
Google and Dropbox, so I don't see why we couldn't trust archive.org.
