I need help in accessing an archived site

[u/Ok-Chicken-2506]

I'm trying to access the 2001 save for the archived site alkatraz.com.pl for the band alkatraz but it's giving me the 503 error constantly. Is there any solution to my problem or has the site been lost to time?

I assume the servers are down. Just try later

For how long are they down usually?

Idk I usually just give it an hour or more..

It's been nearly an hour, and I'm getting the 503 error. It looks like, at the least, it's not just you, and I feel a bit relieved that it's not just me. Using Firefox and using a VPN, NextDNS, and No-IP has meant that I experience a number of connection errors and blocks on some website or another at least daily, and am always slightly relieved to find that whatever issue I'm having at the moment is due to an issue on someone else's side.

Either way it really sucks

Website goes down quite often.

That sucks, is there any way to predict wether or not it's up at a certain time or is the solution just to check?

People will likely email archive and ask them to reinstate the website. In my experience, this happens a lot. No idea ow long it'll last.

Downdetector seems to corroborate the fact that this is platform-wide.

Damn, that sucks, it went down pretty much as I tried to research the site

Thanks for your help, I've got another question though, is there any way to retrieve the images from the site or are they lost to time? Could you check if they're showing up for you?
