hi guys,

I was thinking to update the links on Uploading to archive.org/Tools/There's also an unofficial bookmarklet and shell function page as they don't seem to be working. Here is what I get when I click on them: http://paste.archivingyoursh.it/raw/fotikimule = function ia-save() { curl -s -m 60 -I https://web.archive.org/save/$* | grep Content-Location | awk '{print "https://web.archive.org"$2}' } & http://paste.archivingyoursh.it/raw/yovabepuxa = javascript:void(open('https://web.archive.org/save/'+document.location))] So I have found this http://www.bitsgalore.org/2014/08/02/How-to-save-a-web-page-to-the-Internet-Archive/ that is working pretty good and has helped archive many pages on the Internet Archive. I'll go ahead and do the change. Let me know if you know of any additional add-ons!

Torrent

When you upload a item via torrent, IA keeps seeding the torrent "forever"? HadeanEon (talk) 17:27, 7 February 2019 (UTC)

It does leech (tries to download) it for a maximum of 7 days. Also, IIRC it also stops downloading after being idle (no seeds) for 24 hours. (I used to upload stuff via bittorrent).
The torrent file you upload won't be seeded. The Archive creates a new torrent, which contains all files of the item. That one is probably seeded forever. bzc6p (talk) 07:17, 5 May 2019 (UTC)

robots.txt immunity?

Apparently, the Wayback Machine is now taking revenge on robots.txt and ignoring it increasingly.
Is it just me or did any of you also notice it? (I am extremely glad about it!) --ATrescue (talk) 18:12, 4 May 2019 (UTC)

Not just you. bzc6p (talk) 07:18, 5 May 2019 (UTC)
Good to know. Well done, Internet Archive! Don't let robots.txt censor us. --ATrescue (talk) 10:47, 6 May 2019 (UTC)

YouTube URL parameters.

When archiving a YouTube URL with any parameters after it such as “&feature=youtu.be”, the Wayback Machine jumps back to “This page is available on the web!”, apparently without archiving the page. --ATrescue (talk) 20:22, 12 May 2019 (UTC)

Multiple captures in one second

I have noticed that sometimes, the Wayback Machine captures the same page multiple times in one second, where the second of archival is listed multiple times. I have no example for it at the moment (I will put one here as soon as I find one).

I wonder how the Wayback Machine differentiates between those URLs. --ATrescue (talk) 20:22, 12 May 2019 (UTC)
