I think archive.org is an important project, and I donate to them.
I'm particularly interested in old abandon ware - games, publishing, design, audio software, etc. also books (archive.org has some good books).
They have an air of legitimacy. But I know their 'library' has caused pushback from publishers.
My understanding is that anyone can upload stuff to there. I was thinking the security would therefore be comparable to torrents etc. - plenty of good stuff, but no guarantees. Compiled software being particularly risky.
I just don't fully trust a platform that anyone can upload to. I run the games in relatively sandboxed environments like VMs, linux firejail,
