Is it really an "archive" if you can't download the contents at a reasonable rate? (Eg: I wouldn't expect gigabit speeds, but if you're willing to go slow and steady a 500k/1meg a second that should be doable)
That would enforce actual transparency. We can't allow that to happen! Here's how it works: You tells us who you are and what you're looking for, then we'll see what we can show you and what we can't.
