You'll need to do a bit of digging first :) Please install "dig" (you find it in "bind9-dnsutils") and try: $ dig archive.org
In my case I get: ... archive.org. 125 IN A 207.241.224.2 ...
And I can ping it and use it.
Well, that seems to answer my question in an unexpected way. It seems that archive.org refuses any connections over proxy, or Tor, at least from myself over proxy.
I get a similar result as yours, but only over a direct connection. Over Tor, dig just keeps pretending to dig.
It would be nice if I could keep my thoughts to myself sometimes.
