It would be better if the Internet Archive was decentralized without a central point of failure, maybe run on something like bittorent.

That would be an awful lot of replication or very shitty archive. Decentralization works when each node can serve all the functions and content alone or when you don't care about completeness.

Unless I'm missing something, an archive is not something small or something that's just as good when part of it is missing.
