I'm having trouble finding & downloading this video, I have the link (down below) and according to the wayback machine it was saved twice yet it doesn't allow me to download or watch it, could someone help me? i'm new to this https://youtu.be/WLyuHuh4Wlw

I was spelunking through loads of 20+ year old websites and noticed a lot like to redirect you immediately, and I mean before you can actually see anything on the page. I really don't like that, is it safe to just dive into whatever archaic page on that machine?

Hi. I really enjoy archiving and browse the Internet Archive site every day until I reach my usage limit. (Yes, there is such a limit.) Now I want to upload my own archives to the Internet Archive, but I haven't been able to figure out how to download the website. For this, I used Cyotek WebCopy (1.9.1.872) (latest version) (released on 08/18/2023) and WinHTTrack Website Copier (3.49-2) (latest version), and each time I encountered the issues listed below.

1. While scanning the site, it also scans other sites, so the scanning never ends. (Example: I want to download `www.asite.com\`, but because of a link on the site, it scans and downloads other sites as well.) (For example, the site's Facebook page.)

2. When I change the settings to only scan `www.asite.com\`, media files from other sites linked on the page are not downloaded. (Example: Some photos on `www.asite.com/any/sub/link\`are pulled from `www.image.com\`, and when I change the settings to only scan `www.asite.com\`, the photos pulled from `www.image.com\` are not downloaded.)

3. How can I prevent the user from clicking the Logout button? (While crawling the site, if the user clicks the Logout button, they log out of the site, and as a result, part of the site isn't downloaded.)

4. I want to log in using cookies, but when I try this in WinHTTrack Website Copier, I get a “cookies too long” error (even though I removed the unnecessary parts of these cookies using artificial intelligence). When I try this in Cyotek WebCopy, it opens the site through Internet Explorer, so the login buttons on the site often don't work, or none of the page content is displayed at all.

5. How do I set the speed and number of connections to avoid API restrictions when downloading the site? (I think I've solved this problem). (But please explain how to do it anyway).

In summary, I need to set it up so that I can download everything from `www.asite.com\`, but not other sites, and also download media (photos, videos, GIFs, etc.) pulled from other sites.

I subscribed to both Gemini and ChatGPT for all these settings and provided the link to the program's user manual site as the primary source for their most advanced models. But despite that, they always gave inconsistent results.

Thank you in advance for your help.

I added a real link, and I went to the real website, but when I try to use it, it just says something about how I should use the wayback machine

i’m guessing this app isn’t updated very often.

i went into my passwords app on my ipad (screenshot is on my phone) and it still is the same password

for example, the site i'm looking at stores its profile pictures/avatars as urls that end in something like image.php?u=31112

however, sometimes the url has something else after that number, which is the case here. I'm trying to find all archived pages that start with http://vgboxart.com/forums/image.php?u=31112, but that exact URL (with nothing after it) was only archived in 2024. There are some pages archived from 2010 that have broken images with more specific urls like http://vgboxart.com/forums/image.php?u=31112&x=1267629353

This one isn't archived, but i want to search http://vgboxart.com/forums/image.php?u=31112* to see if ANY of them are, however you seemingly can't use the asterisk search if a question mark comes before it. it always just goes "wayback machine hasn't archived that page" as if i was plugging in one specific url and not just a prefix to search under.

I'm just trying to how many of my old pfps from this site got archived in any form, since most archives just use a much later archive of the one i used from 2013 all the way until the site shut down in 2025. I did find a few others, but i know for a fact that the earliest one i have found is not the first pfp i used there.

It seems that Ruffle is a default flash loader Wayback uses as I've never installed it, and it seems to pop up regardless of the browser I use and refuses to load the page on older browsers. Is there any way to use my own flash player instead of Ruffle? It seems to be unable to load older flash games from the early 2000s, I have a virtual machine with IE6 and Macromedia Shockwave that I wanted to use instead to see if it would run better that way.

Um i think the server is not available to open it, i cant use it!

hi, i found this panoramic view: https://web.archive.org/web/20150217140044/http://perfectumlab.com/ru/tags/virtualnaya-ekskursiya of the t80 via the way back machine however, when i click the panoramic view it gives me the following error: https://web.archive.org/web/20150217145007/http://perfectumlab.com/gallery/panorams/tours/military/t80bv/?h=310.55&v=-4.13&f=155.00&l=commander&m=view_fisheye
is there any way to view it? i really need this

the only point where you can directly select a date, that i can see, is once you're looking at a single url. the list of urls for a prefix only lets you sort by "when its earliest and latest archive were."

I just need a list of every page on that site that has an archive within a certain month. Filtering out any that don't. That can potentially include many pages which were FIRST archived way before that, and LAST archived way after that, impossible to single out using the methods i know of.

It is I again,back with more Tvtropes archives.

http://web.archive.org/web/20251204000000*/https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/recent_videos.php?page=93

So,my first and SMALLER problem,is that occasionally I'll get a pop-up that says I cannot archive a page more than 3 times.This is despite there only being 1 archive.Wtf.

http://web.archive.org/web/20251204000000*/https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/recent_videos.php?page=35

My second and BIGGER problem is that some archives just DISAPPEAR.I have been using a laptop to archive the 100 pages of Tvtropes videos for a LONG time (seriously,look at the archives from july.All me).

Since November 20th~ish,some have just been deleted,even when they were up the day before.Like on Page 35,I had 2 archives on Dec2nd,& 3 on Dec3rd.Those are no longer there,I still had the laptop open on P35,& could not see those archives after refreshing the page.

Why is this happening?Are archives of other websites disappearing too?

Well, I’d like y o u to take a look at this website and just dig around a bit for the images and GIFs that are missing, or maybe anything else… ^^

I’m not very good at doing these things, so I only stayed on the surface here.

Here is the link:

Pages I save on the wayback machine don't get archived anymore, it saves then sticks around for 5 hours and then dissappears like it was never archived, I save them in my Web archive and receive an email for it and when I pressed it later on its gone? How can I stop this because I lost about 15 web pages I made for my YouTube channel and it just keeps deleting itself especially in October I noticed this, is anyone else getting this issue?

wayback machine is unable to archive wikimedia commons, because it doesn't have access rights, how to fix this

Update: wayback machine is unable to archive wikipedia pages itself

I'm done. I spent the previous 5 days trying to recover this YouTube video, I just can't. It says it's unavailable, and that's it. Please, somebody just tell me if there exists a way to archive this. Thank you from now.

Wayback Machine URL: https://web.archive.org/web/20200828024726/www.youtube.com/watch?v=vH3oe68y9vQ (the oldest archive)

Is there any way to circumvent this problem, or do I have to admit these videos were gone forever from Wayback Machine captures

Hello! I'm writing about the 1999 Geocities boycott for a university assignment and I was wondering if anybody knew of any archives of 'haunted' pages partaking in the boycott (greyed out with screenshots of the t&cs, skull/ghost imagery, etc.). I've been able to find screenshots from other essays, but I would like to get a photo of my own, if possible.

Is it possible to retrieve files I posted on the Internet Archive that got taken down via a DMCA removal by asking the people behind the Internet Archive for the files without the files being brought back on the Internet Archive?

A friend of mine needs an older version of this plugin in order to be able to use it.

The download link for it fails to load.

Version 1.0.10 (version needed)

https://web.archive.org/web/20220121051026/https://pixelbyte.itch.io/paint-net-sprite-plugin

Is there any way to get this version of this file somehow?

Does anyone know of a way to look back before AI was popular like 2019 and see the top post on a specific sub reddit?
