Did you get any automated way to do it? Maybe we could just send to archive.org directly?
The Internet Archive offered a few different upload options. I used the traditional Linux "ftp" command line client and its "mput" command.
I did not care to automate this for future use, because I had already stopped to download new files from your server. The background was that I had filled up the disks of my server, and really needed to get rid of these files to get free space.
Each of these uploads would last something like 24 hours. I never understood why the upload bandwidth seemed to be so limited. My friends suggested it might be related to TCP window parameters in the server's kernel and the long ping roundtrip between my server in Sweden and theirs in San Francisco. But the Internet Archive didn't want to investigate this because their FTP upload option was old and not actively maintained. Those were my main problems, not automation.
