When Archive.Today (and their .fo/.is.li/.md/.ph/.vn) look down; check your DNS

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/05/19

The [Wayback] Archive Today blog has not been updated for more than a year now*, and this looks to coincide with up-time issues.

Part of the inability to save pages in Archive.Today (or any of their other domains) or access them can have to do with DNS issues, actually confirmed by the linked Wikipedia article. There are many links on them, some are these reddit threads:

  • Note the problem archiving the Archive Today blog into the Wayback Machine isn’t always successful. When trying around the moments that Archive Today could not archive pages, the Wayback Machine could not find the Archive Today blog in their DNS, see the the picture below.

The really cool thing is that during after the Internet Archive hack (and therefore Wayback Machine downtime), Archive Today held up pretty much OK, so not all is bad (:

Anyway Archive Today archival started to work again after some 4 hours of problems, and I got dragged into other work, so there was no chance to investigate further. Hopefully another day… or preferably: hopefully they stay up.

Query: [Wayback/Archive] archive today down – Google Suche
