Go offline a couple of days until they are losing interest in DDOS'ing? Would that work?

That just means the DDOSer is taking Internet Archive down without any further work required.

True. That's not something you want. Could use that downtime for extensive maintenance to roll out a more robust system (they are probably even working on that already in the background). For the end user it doesn't really make a difference if down because of DDOS or because of maintenance I thought.
