Wayback Machine Downloader

No payment now. You see the result first.

What happens next

  1. The coverage gets checked properly. Deeper than the free lookup on the front page, against the full index rather than a sample.
  2. The restore runs. Minutes for a small site, hours for a large one. The Archive answers about one page every two seconds and that sets the pace.
  3. You get a reply with what came back. Page count, date range, and anything that did not survive.
  4. You pay $12 and get the files. Only if it delivered what the coverage check indicated.

Not sure it is worth it?

Run the free coverage check first. It takes a few seconds, needs no email, and will tell you plainly if the Archive does not hold enough to be worth restoring.

Something other than a restore

Corrections to anything written here, questions about how the tool works, or a problem with a restore you already received: use the same form and say so in the notes. It reaches the same place.
