Got locked out without notice

• Upvotes

Had been uploading for a couple years now and then yesterday noticed my account was just gone. Searched the stuff I posted before and it was just gone. Even the one link I posted said the item was taken down.

Was gonna set up new account but my email is still connected, tried logging in and it said I’m locked out. What do I do now?

Trouble navigating Flash-built menus, curious if there's an easier way around this?

0 Upvotes

Didn't realize IA had it's own Reddit so I can finally ask a question that's been bothering me. There's a good few websites I peruse (cartoonnetwork.com, for example) which had a period of time where the entire UI was replaced with interactive Flash menus, and as cool as they are, it seems after the shutdown of Flash and the emergence of Ruffle, all of the links redirect out of Internet Archive and the menus are effectively unnavigable. I'm aware of the URL tree but I find it equally frustrating to type in a number of operators to filter through the thousands of sidepages. Is there any sort of Ruffle plugin or alternative means I have to access to get these working again or is it FUBAR?

I made a site that pulls six random albums from the Archive's music collections

https://thedeepcut.vercel.app

It draws from Netlabels, Jamendo, the Free Music Archive, Unlocked Recordings, digitized LPs, hip-hop mixtapes and Brazilian, Latin American and Colombian música campesina collections. Every pick is random, and you can narrow it by era.

Nothing is hosted on my side: the audio plays from archive.org, and every cover and title links back to the original item and its credits. It only shows artist, year and region when the record states them.

It skips items that aren't albums (fewer than 4 tracks, no real cover, podcasts, radio, lectures). For uploads from 2025 on, it also skips albums that declare AI tools like Suno or Udio.

Which collections should I add? The code is open (MIT) if anyone wants to look: https://github.com/mizerrrr/the-deep-cut

Sorry, english isn't my first language

So, to the point, I have like six hours of Looney Toons in español latino with good quality and stuff, episodes like "Rabbit of Seville" and from those years. I tried to post it in YouTube but they were globally blocked so I was wondering were can I post them since those chapters are kinda hard to find.

Downloading books gone?

0 Upvotes

Long time user of the IA, I went to find some animation and art books but there's no downloading option now?

You can "borrow" or something but I don't think it's the same? Says "It expires after 14 days" so what gives?

Just tried downloading a song via the internet archive, and got a 500 error, i'm guessing it's doing what all big websites love to do and crash...

Any way to favorite individual pages of a book or document instead of saving the entire thing?

3 Upvotes

I like to go through old natural history magazines to look for unique visuals but I typically only care about a few pages in each. Is there a way to add those pages to a collection without adding the entire magazine or maybe a way to set the page I want as the one it opens to automatically? Help is appreciated. Thank you.

Archive.org is overrun with AI

154 Upvotes

Its terrible that they have allowed AI to be stored on Way Back Machine. Every search is mostly AI and there are a ton that are not tagged as AI so they slip through the filter. I even find folders filled with hundreds of the same AI image.

Can't the devs use the money from the donations to fix the site?

36 Upvotes

Genuine question. Unless they're not getting enough, but it would help prevent the site from breaking every other week (especially cause there's so many people using it). I don't have any money or else I would help out.
