Wait really?!

I never really thought about it I guess - I've got a bunch of stuff I'm archiving locally that I always felt like it'd be a shame if it disappeared. Would be nice to have a real place for it.

My method is a bit cumbersome, but basically you upload the file to one of the temporary file sharing sites, then get and copy the full download link, but don't actually download it.

Take the copied full link, and use the archive's snapshot feature. Your mileage may vary, not all temp sharing sites allow archiving.
