I noticed the very same thing, so the first thing I did was:
# find archive/ -type f -size 0 -exec rm -v "{}" \;
Followed by:
# find archive/ -type d -exec rm -v "{}" \;
In case you're wondering, the second removes emtpy directories only :-).

There are also loads of gophermaps which only contain "3Error of some kind".

I was lazy... So I'm doing it one site at the time - one server hosts
one archived site using Gophernicus with some extra command line
switches, and a second site spiders the "live site" using the hosts-file
to fix the IP address....
So no, I have no real answer to that yet. I do have the full archive
(temporarily) here but without the original gophermaps.
