The Internet Archive currently holds over 28 million books and texts, 6 million movies and videos, 600,000 software programs, 15 million audio files, and 492 billion web pages in the Wayback Machine.[needs update] In August 2012, the archive announced[10] that it has added BitTorrent to its file download options for more than 1.3 million existing files, and all newly uploaded files.[11][12] This method is the fastest means of downloading media from the Archive, as files are served from two Archive data centers, in addition to other torrent clients which have downloaded and continue to serve the files.[11][notes 11] On November 6, 2013, the Internet Archive's headquarters in San Francisco's Richmond District caught fire,[13] destroying equipment and damaging some nearby apartments.[14] According to the Archive, it lost a side-building housing one of 30 of its scanning centers; cameras, lights, and scanning equipment worth hundreds of thousands of dollars; and "maybe 20 boxes of books and film, some irreplaceable, most already digitized, and some replaceable".[15] The nonprofit Archive sought donations to cover the estimated $600,000 in damage.[16] ./cache/en-wikipedia-org-1374.html ./txt/en-wikipedia-org-1374.txt
