Another subhuman jeet, another day of using the Internet as a public shitting street.

Maybe you're hitting the servers at the peak hours and they shit the bed?
Or maybe your ISP is censoring the Archive? I wouldn't put it past them.
It could be also a DNS issue.
Or maybe they blocked you, because they think you're a data scraper bot or something.

As for the Archive's future, I honestly have no idea. But right now they're still operating as normal.

archive.org switches between being HTTPS and HTTP only at times, just replace the URL from HTTPS to HTTP and if HTTP stops working go to HTTPS

Archive.is and wayback machine hasn't been working which is fustrating because I was going to use it for article research and archiving articles and pages I found for posting here.

The guy behind archive.is/archive.ph and other associated sites is Russian, so not much Patel can do other than block it in the US if he chooses to say no. The only thing I know about child porn on archive.is is that he's lazy about removing it, but that's from ED, so I'm choosing X to doubt on that one.

considering the state of archive.today is in I think you should move to Ghost Archive or Megalodon for archiving exclusively now

I will continue to use it tomorrow as much as I used it yesterday or last week. But it's time for everyone to start making multiple archives of stuff that is really important. Use all 4 + screenshot or file upload. And maybe 2 for the small stuff. Some sites that work fine with Archive.today will break on Megalodon.jp, and Ghost Archive falls flat frequently.

I think it's a given Archive.today will die. Maybe a year from now, maybe 20 years from now. The best outcome would be that the whole contents are made available as a torrent, so the past archives are preserved at least.

hopefully archiveteam does something, I'll make sure to do large downloads of certain sites and upload them in order for preservation.
 
Not completely related to this thread but I saw that article about the Internet Archive who might be worth to check an eye.

The Internet Archive must not be our only resource to access the past​

By D. Parker

These days, we’re heading for an infotainment implosion. Even though we have all the world’s knowledge at our fingertips, many fail to grasp its meaning and importance, much less read past the headline and, at best, the first paragraph. Meanwhile, we’re letting machines do our thinking for us.

Glenn Beck’s new A.I. project is meant to get ahead of the curve, and it’s laudable in all its goals. But there is also a vital function that cannot be neglected: archiving and storing away the facts and data of our society. At present, these critical functions are performed by entities such as the Internet Archive, doing a yeoman’s job at storing away these irreplaceable records. They’ve come under attack recently and have had some breakdowns that point to a need for a separate system that performs the same function, albeit from a conservative point of view. Thus, this is our case for Glenn Beck and everyone else to support a Freedom Archive.

Multiple systems are better than one or two.
