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.
Aha, then it's more likely that your DNS server does not like connections over tor. I can use archive.org over tor without problems. You could just add
207.241.224.2 archive.org www.archive.org
to your /etc/hosts, then you should not have that problem.

It would be nice if I could keep my thoughts to myself sometimes.
LOL
