This is a list of abusive incidents that happened in relation to the archive.

If you recognize yourself in any of those entries, please reconsider what you are doing.
Hosting the archive costs money, and if I end up having to cover most of it myself
(especially if the cause for increased cost is nefarious), I'll just shut it down instead.

 - On 2023-05-16 20:35 UTC, someone started sending loads of invalid requests
   to the /api/uploads endpoint, presumably in an attempt to automate queueing
   uploads.
   Afterwards, they queued roughly 34 builds of different devices from the top
   of the "not yet uploaded" list, causing an additional ~$0.01 per day spent on
   storage going forward and about 5 hours of additional spinning-disk time, more
   than doubling the usual amount for a single day.

 - On 2023-09-20, someone or something sent up to 3000 download requests to the
   Backblaze server, maxing out the API limit in the process and subsequently
   shutting down the ability to download archived files.

 - Starting 2024-04-16 01:50 UTC, 23 different builds of LineageOS 19 were queued
   for upload in quick succession. This delayed other (legitimate) requests by more
   than two hours, caused additional disk spinning time and cloud storage use,
   and significantly slowed my efforts of uploading pre-QPR2 builds of LineageOS 21
   to archive.org, as well as an ongoing server migration.
