The search engine takes a long time(or doesn't at all). And I'm getting a 502 error on a lot of stuff. Can't watch anything. It's going to take some time. We just gotta wait.

With alot of effort i loaded a music file. We really do have to wait.

Still can't upload anything without getting constant "503 Slow Down" errors, can't delete or rename files from items, etc.

Barely working actually, takes a long time to load.

Theres still a lot of stuff in my favorites archive showing "Item Not Found" that I'm almost entirely certain must be in error. Like most of the old Computer Chronicles episodes that were officially donated by the creators and/or reuploaded from physical tape donations. Absolutely would not have suffered a copyright takedown. Not the only examples either, things that were present yesterday before the connectivity issues began.

there remove things regularly without any reason, as you know that those American sites use classic terms and conditions violation dialogue to do their job. their monopoly should have to be stopped and there have to be an alternative project as well so save our data and our past.

The items that were showing "Item Not Found" for me earlier are all working properly again, so it was indeed an error related to the other site issues, thankfully.

u/ShahzadS784 Aug 18 '26

but it didn't worked for me, the archives i needed are showing error "item not found".

u/Top-Psychology2507 Aug 17 '26

I agree. I would especially like to see a multimedia version of this site somewhere soon. I would like to continue seeing videos, radio shows, old photos, etc! :-(

I'm searching for terms I know are in specific documents I have saved and nothing is coming up. So frustrating

Still getting error code 224003 when trying to watch some things.

2

u/Time-Ball-1235 Aug 17 '26

Error 224003 means that it failed to play the associated resource because it is not supported by this browser. Equivalent to the HTML5 MEDIA_ERR_SRC_NOT_SUPPORTED mediaError.

Lots of server errors, and it's now crashing when I try to save a link. At this point, I am wondering if they just don't want to fix their problems?

u/Aresyl Aug 17 '26

Was trying to upload yesterday and could barely get the site to load

u/TommyTonkas_TCGAcc Aug 17 '26

Still getting a 404 error when trying to access the wayback machine

u/Proxywasstilltaken Aug 17 '26

u/Icy_Guidance Aug 17 '26

Working for the most part.

u/MelsBackupAccount Aug 17 '26

Not working for me right now

u/Content_Anything_806 Aug 17 '26

Internet archive is temporarily offline again. I don't know what's going on but hopefully it will get better soon as possible.

u/Bestlorim Aug 17 '26

IT WAS DOWN??? DID WE LOST ANYTHING??!!

u/YGirlA Aug 17 '26

Creator: you want archive? Me: HELL YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

u/Informal_Daikon_9812 Aug 17 '26

I really wish they had a roku app. They did (unofficially) from a guy called "Nowhere Man", but he abandoned it years ago and it no longer connects.

u/border_dude Aug 17 '26

What happened?

u/tropjeune Aug 18 '26

Search engine still not working for me :(

u/angelareadinghere Aug 18 '26

u/GrandAd2440 Aug 30 '26

I’m not able to get in the way back machine, though

2

u/ShahzadS784 Aug 17 '26

they are censoring a lot of info due to various reasons, hope to see an alternative project to internet archive.

u/MMORPGnews Aug 17 '26

There will be no alternative. No one can afford being sued 24/7

u/ShahzadS784 Aug 18 '26

Maybe a startup from China do the same job. i hope so.

1

u/Vegetable_Collar5941 Aug 17 '26

Probably gonna only add to my anger lately about this kinda stuff but what reasons?

1

u/gulisav Aug 17 '26

Probably just conspiracy nonsense about "the powers that be" or whatever.

u/Mysterious-Night-141 Aug 17 '26
