They throw things into the Wayback Machine and mangle the filenames and destroy the directory heirarchy
somewhere else. I'm disappointed that the major search engines seem to return what is at IA first. It
isn't even necessarily the most recent version of a file.

The Computer History Museum has committed to being a mirror site
http://bitsavers.computerhistory.org

The intention in some day to integrate it with the "Open CHM" project, but the infrastructure for that
is still a work in progress.
