Does archive.org have the storage space or bandwidth to serve this much video?

I agree that archive.org is the "correct" place for this content, but I think YouTube is a more practical location for now (and also the place where I think the content is more likely to be discovered by regular people: many people think of searching YouTube when looking for video content of all types, and YouTube has a top-tier indexing and search engine to help them find the right stuff).




Sure, they already hosted the Prelinger movie archives: https://archive.org/details/prelinger & https://archive.org/details/prelingerhomemovies


I can't believe this got 27 million views though: https://archive.org/details/AboutBan1935



You say "probably", and then link to statistics that don't support the premise and in fact cast serious doubt on it, so I'm not sure what you mean to say here.
