I bet that if someone went to The Internet Archive, they could pay them to get timestamped snapshots of professionally-spidered stuff at zero load to the websites. I'm sure that it'd cost something for all the hard drives and probably something for labor, but so does spidering the whole Internet yourself. The people running the bots clearly have the funds available to run them at massive scale.
