Damn. I guess they are in it for the long haul.

ArchiveTeam are “planning” to save everything(?), but they should have started like two months ago, if they have any hope of doing that. Dunno if it’s being worked on at all. Plus committing to a multiple petabyte project I assume takes some doing.

I’ve scarcely visited the site myself, but I looked around for stuff of interest to me and bagged them. yt-dlp works just fine!

It’s odd that while there is one part that’s film negative on purpose, some just seem to be negative for no reason…

After a while, blog posts started returning a 403 error, then later 410. Images and javascript files remained downloadable for longer, but the JS files started returning 410 after a while as well. Now, only images are available, and the known ones are slowly being archived as long as they are downloadable.

There does seem to be some tracker rate limiting, but there certainly is a lot of work to be done.

It’s very convenient to have these archives always a click of a button away. Definitely recommend!

They are back now, but I could find no further info about it.

For a second I thought it might be another wave of DOS.
