The idea is good as there is a point that I will (have to) stop hosting GCW
For now this is not an issue but you'll never know... If something happens to me, then I am not sure that it will continue
As for uploading it somewhere, I do not have a clue how/where to upload it to be able to share it as it the archive contains a lot of files from the past 25 years (~400GB)! Maybe a torrent or usenet is an option to consider.
As for crawling it yourself, it is possible as the "protections" in place are quite old and with current technology it should be possible,
they were there just to avoid hot-linking during the "golden age" of GCW, as with 25+TB traffic p/month and so many visitors (350K p/day) this would have been a problem.
Nowadays this ain't a problem anymore and it remains a hobby-project
