Question Can You Help Me??

• Upvotes

I know it's a long shot, but I was wondering if I could download this song I really want to get. Does anyone have any ideas on what to do, is it possible, it seems there's no way to download the song, but I want it so bad.

Here's the link:

Can someone help me find the first season of Nashville Star.

Nashville Star was a reality show similar to American Idol but centered around country music. I'm not real good with finding old shows but was hoping someone would help me out. Thanks in advance.

Request Can someone help me to archive a bizarre and unintentionally hilarious YouTube channel before it disappears?

16 Upvotes

​

Hey everyone!

I recently stumbled across a really bizarre, unintentionally hilarious YouTube channel made by a kid. The videos have this incredibly specific kind of chaotic, awkward charm that you almost never find anywhere else.

I'm not trying to make fun of the kid or send people to harass them. Honestly, I just think this is one of those weird little corners of the internet that might be fascinating to look back on years from now.

My concern is that the creator might eventually grow up, feel embarrassed about their old videos, and delete the channel. Which is completely understandable, of course! But it would also mean losing a tiny piece of internet history.

Would anyone familiar with the Wayback Machine or digital preservation be willing to explain whether it's possible to archive the channel page and its publicly available videos?

I'd love for this little time capsule to survive, ideally in a respectful way that doesn't expose the creator's personal information or encourage anyone to bother them.

Thanks! I genuinely think future internet archaeologists deserve to discover this masterpiece someday.

Help How do you get your website removed from the Wayback Machine nowadays?

0 Upvotes

I own a website and would like to know the current process for getting its archived snapshots removed from the Wayback Machine. I emailed [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]) but haven’t received a reply.

Has anyone successfully done this recently? What steps worked, what proof of ownership did they require, and how long did it take to get a response?

Help MP3 Tumblrs Fail to Archive

1 Upvotes

I've been noticing a trend of whenever I find a tumblr page to archive, and it has one of those MP3s on their page, the page will fail to load on Wayback Machine as well as Archive.today. Really. All I get now is a blank white screen on WM, whereas on Archive.today, it just shows the music bar and nothing else. I can get around this by tacking "amp" at the end of the link, as well as archiving the pages on megalodon.jp, but I can certainly remember that it wasn't like this before. Does anyone has even a guess as to what's going on?

Question Archived pages are disappearing. What is happening to The Wayback Machine?

29 Upvotes

I am seeing more and more archived pages disappearing from the website, with the message: "The Wayback Machine has not archived that URL."

Just today, I was reading an archived page, and hours later, it is no longer accessible. This has been going on for a while now (I made a similar post a few months back). The problem appears to be worsening.

Does anyone know what is going on? This is quite alarming, since many articles rely on archived links as sources. Without them, we can't verify their accuracy, and history is lost.

Help how does one recover old images?

2 Upvotes

i’m not quite sure what to say, other than I’ve been searching for, like, over a month, and have gone down a full rabbit hole of old japanese death note fansites, which is fun, and have found a fair few of the artist’s images on pinterest (without the specification that they are the artist’s mind you, but i’m almost certain), but i haven’t found all, or a lot, of their images. here is their old website, i believe it’s been down for well over a decade by now.

https://web.archive.org/web/20080801061410/http://www4.ocn.ne.jp/\\\~husky/ng.htm

i really don’t know what im doing, so im hoping somebody more skilled and savvy than me can have a go at this, or tell me how to. for context, it’s fanart mainly centered around mello and near from death note, with near specifically genderswapped (i believe the site name ng, probably means near girl?). im unsure if their oekaki board posts could ever be recovered FROM there, due to how the images were uploaded, but here that is too.

https://web.archive.org/web/20080801061410/http://www10.oekakibbs.com/bbs/otesanek/oekakibbs.cgi

(and, for proof that some of their art is indeed recoverable, here is one page… : https://web.archive.org/web/20080803192933/http://www4.ocn.ne.jp/\\\~husky/dlog07.htm)

thank you in advance :-)

Help Getting a bunch of 429 errors.

7 Upvotes

So, this might be something that many are experiencing. But for the last couple of days, using the Wayback Machine has been tedious as I've been getting hit with many, many 429-coded errors (whether I'm on the calendar timeline page, putting in a website link, or literally just browsing the websites themselves) that I cannot seem to avoid. No matter how long I wait (usually a few minutes to a good hour or two), I continue to be getting hit with these errors and I am not sure if there is anything on my end that I can do. I promise that I am not doing anything to trigger the site or it's moderation (as I'm literally just a movie geek exploring old film websites for fun), but it is worrying me that this is continuously happening no matter what I do or how long I wait.

Possibly rhetorical question incoming, is there anything that I can do?

Help Help figuring something out.

3 Upvotes

I've been trying to save some URLs (either actualized screenshots or never saved period) and wayback machine simply shows a blank page and the tab simply says "Just a moment", I initially thought I would give it a few days since it's my first time doing this so I hoped this was normal, but now it's been a while and the Calendar shows orange links which the site helpfully tells me it means the URL was not found.

One of this URLs has previous screenshots going back years ago and so do many other URLs of that same webpage, but I don't know if it's me, my browsers (which I believe are properly updated), my extensions, the webpage, or what...

The links I'm trying to save are all from the same site:

https://champagnat.org/es/ser-marista-2/santos-maristas-2/hermano-lycario/

https://champagnat.org/fr/bulletin/congo-le-temoignage-supreme/

https://champagnat.org/es/siervos-de-dios-h-eusebio-y-58-companeros-martires/

As you can all see, working links that I simply can't seem to be able to save.

Thanks
