Yeah, that part's especially "hilarious."  I was spidering archive.org
yesterday, and in the middle of it, they started honoring the robots
directive.  I e-mailed Nick Levine, asking him to remove the
robots.txt, but I haven't heard back.

I, too, was blocked by Google, similarly after ~100 pages.  Google's
spider has already returned to wiki.alu.org since it went offline, and
has started removing pages from its index and cache.  For example,
yesterday you could get the cached copy of http://wiki.alu.org/Bob_Bechtel,
but today you can't.

If anyone wants to help spider Google (not that I'm encouraging this,
as it's against the TOS,) I've split the cached URLs *as of yesterday*
(minus the pages I grabbed) into groups of 50 URLs.  Pick a URL set
from

http://waltergr.com/alu/google.txt

and write back to the group saying which URL set you're going to grab,
to avoid duplication.  We can collect the files in one place later.

Walter
