Hi Frederico,
This is great news! I have two questions though:
1. What happens to files deleted after your crawler retrieved them? I
suppose they will still be available in the archives.
2. Is the archive team willing to host 3rd party, specialized
downloads, such as all the pictures from WLM (or all the pictures with
monuments from a certain country?)
Thanks,
Strainu
