Sorry to say, archive.org is under a ddos attack. The data is not affected, but most services are unavailable.
We are working on it & will post updates in comments.

I was wondering what was going on. The Internet Archive is an incredibly important asset beyond archiving websites because it has things like the Prelinger Collection, which is the largest archive of industrial, educational and other ephemeral films, which would be only accessible via commercial sites like YouTube otherwise.
And that’s really the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the audio, video and texts available.

I hope this gets resolved soon.
