Note: The bot's versioning is wacky. In the past week, Project Honey Pot participant sites report FIVE different version numbers for the IP that hit me [projecthoneypot.org ]:

/1.20.30
/1.20.33
/1.20.37
/1.20.41
/1.20.70

Notes:

- Neighboring IPs (.208; .209) show the same versions, and more. E.g.: [projecthoneypot.org ]

- The umbrella, internetmemory.org, appears to be more European than not.

- Yet Another All-Web Archive. But apparently not connected to Amazon's archive.org -- yet.

Can you please describe this "Amazon's archive.org" that you mentioned. It's probably discussed in another thread that I missed, so I don't know about it.

TIA doesn't actually belong to Amazon, does it? They just crawl from aws ranges.

I don't know about archive.org's crawling bases, AWS or otherwise. That said, a major "Institutional Supporter" of Archive.org is Alexa -- an Amazon company. [archive.org...]

And --

"Alexa's operation includes archiving of webpages as they are crawled. This database served as the basis for the creation of the Internet Archive accessible through the Wayback Machine.[7] In 1998, the company donated a copy of the archive, two terabytes in size, to the Library of Congress.[5] Alexa continues to supply the Internet Archive with Web crawls." [en.wikipedia.org...]

Thus I reckon Archive.org's data, tracking and stats get accessed by Amazon in some way, shape, or form, thus my POV: "Amazon's archive.org".

Sidling back to memorybot -- archivethe.net appears to have different connections.
