The Internet Archive’s outgoing bandwidth doubled today to both the commercial Internet and Internet2.

Support for this increase came from the federal e-rate program and the California State Library (thank you!).

We expect to increase our bandwidth further in the next month based on another innovative project.

Anyway, we are all relieved by this increase because we have been overloaded. We apologize.

But we are not out of the woods yet. Our next step is to find other bottlenecks in our system to help get more cultural materials to more people faster.

Enjoy.
