Internet Archive Reviews 71

slow connection when it comes to watching movies and TV shows, trying to search for what you want is frustrating because it just shows irrelevant results that don't match what you're REALLY searching for, aaaand of course, the Wayback Machine. The Wayback Machine, is worthless and broken. And they have the AUDACITY to ask for donations when they can't even fix their OWN site? Yeah, you don't get a CENT from me. What happened to this site?? what happened???

When contacting staff regarding a problem they appear to deliberately misunderstand a query or simply don't understand it. this is despite explaining it several times. The website itself is great, but don't waste your time trying to get any semblance of understanding or help from their staff.

I don't know much about this so I'm not too sure if I trust it

I'm disappointed by the amount of negative reviews for one of the most important websites on the internet. The Internet Archive is an excellent resource for documentation purposes.

People seem to be complaining about their lack of being able to access lost content/media that they cannot watch, while failing to realize that the reason they are unable to watch/access such content is because the wayback machine does not host the content. The internet archive is really just a massive collection of static pages.

Also, the Internet archive makes it easy for webmasters to remove their websites from their search engine. That's a MAJOR plus!

Great resource!

i use this website mainly for old discontinued programs or for operating systems like windows xp or 98 SE isos so i can run the systems in a vm

It's a very cool we resource.
There's a lot of free material, I am in love woth this website. Thanks to the developers 😍 for this beautiful sharing space.

Jag kontaktade företaget angående frågor om det finns ett objekt med url: details/ torrents

Då jag inte kan skapa den när jag skapar nya objekt.

Men då får jag svar tillbaks att den inte finns och att jag ska välja en annan url.

Sedan frågar jag igen och då hotar dom mig att banna mitt konto om jag fortsätter fråga dom.

Hur f*n tänker dom?

Dom har ju en mail av en anledning, att man ska kunna kontakta dom.

Sedan skickade jag ett långt mail att hota aldrig är okej, sedan skriver han/hon att mitt konto redan är bannat. (Jag blev bannad förut när jag laddade upp material som blev rapporterat).

Men vad hade hänt om det kopplade kontot fanns kvar. Får dom verkligen banna mig om jag ställer frågor som dom tycker är irriterande.

Jag ställde frågan var i deras regler där det står att dom kan banna användare om man ställer frågor via mail.

Otrevlig j*vel och tycker det är bedrövligt att sådana personer ska vara anställda där.

Skickade till grundaren Brewster Kahle via Linkedin men vet inte om jag kommer får svar från honom.

Bedrövligt iallafall att man ska vara rädd att bli bannad bara för att dom anställda har dåliga dagar.

Jag frågade liknande frågor för 1 årsen, och då fick jag svar på frågan. Så ett tips: ta bort otrevlig personal och ersätt med trevliga.

URL:en ska isåfall stavas med små och stora bokstäver men hur isåfall, jag kan inte hitta att till exempel details/Torrents eller details/TORRENTS finns.

Almost anything from the past can be found here. It's amazing and doesn't get enough credit.

It'masive collection ,I appreciated

I've been using Wayback Machine for so many reasons. When I first saw the new update, I thought it was just a slight improvement. But, no. I think they ruined it. They removed the feature of how you can see what the websites looked like back then. Now, it's just a big pile of hardcore that I can't even use. They added graphs, pie charts, calendars, etc. How can I look at the past now? It seems like I'm a
YouTube CIA, and I'm randomly searching through one of the hardest quests I was given. I tried to pay attention to the tutorial video, but it didn't work. It's just a brick web for me. It doesn't even look like I'm looking at the past anymore. If someones ever reading this, let them know to keep the improvments, but remove all of this difficult bullcrap. This update completely ruined my nostalgia and childhood. Unbelievable.

It's not bad, but it's prolonged. The primary issue with this site is its performance. No matter how stable your internet speed is, it takes forever to load a page you want to browse. The biggest problem with this site is that it struggles to load statuses on Twitter, and when it's full of pictures or videos, it gets stuck or displays broken thumbnails. It requires a lot of effort to make it functional because, in its current form, it's a far cry from what it should be.

One thing I love about this website is the fact that I can play games, even flash games, at school, cause stupid Securly didn't block this website yet. Papa's games, the Duck Life series, the Learn To Fly series, you name it.

probably the most important site on the web.
internet archive is amazing, genuinely one of the best websites ever.
you want to go back and see what a site looked like 10 years ago? you can! you want to hear some music thats going through copyright hell on youtube or other platforms? its probably on the internet archive.
if this thing ever shuts down, it'll be worse than the burning of the library of alexandria.

Grazie a questo sito sono riuscita a leggere diversi libri in maniera completamente gratuita. Consiglio.

This is great resource. Often under attack from publishers, it provides remarkable access to out-of-print books.

Worst customer service possible!
Refuse to return my calls to cancel this very very poor service

I love this website! Started reading books from 600 years ago and wow so much wisdom and knowledge that has been lost in time is mind blowing etc... This has become my new hobby and favorite website. I strongly feel this website needs to be protected by the US Government etc... This website is extremely valuable to the right viewer. If people can dump millions of dollars into a stupid Crypto meme coin that has 0 value and or if we can send billions of dollars to other countries, then why can't this site be funded and protected that actually provides value. Don't understand humans in this time. Nobody wants to learn anymore. Please protect this website for future generations.

This is far if not the worst and the most dumpster fire archive website in the entire history. Because of know why?

It's abysmal slow when this internet works fine. It will take a few hours to load a pages, download, upload and changing preferences.

Who even though this website could be fast. For me, it's pricking sucks. To even worse of all, when you donated, rid of DDoS attacks, it's doesn't improve at all. WHAT THE CLUCK!!!

You think this is a biggest archiving website in the world. Well, they're non-existent.

DO NOT USE INTERNET ARCHIVE!!!

This is the perfect place to discover books and immerse yourself in a unique library experience. You can borrow rare and out-of-print titles, all while enjoying the convenience of a 24/7 library that’s truly one of a kind—and completely FREE! With features like page navigation, zoom, and content search, it offers an experience comparable to the feature-rich Amazon Kindle. I absolutely love it! Go ahead, explore, and experience it for yourself—it’s not just about books! 📚
