ArchiveTeam is trying to brute force the entire URL space before its too late. You can run a Virtualbox VM/docker image (ArchiveTeam Warrior) to help (unique IPs are needed). I've been running it for a couple months and found a million.

Looks like they have saved 8000+ volumes of data to the Internet Archive so far [0]. The project page for this effort is here [1].

Docker container FTW. Thanks for the heads-up - this is a project I will happily throw a Hetzner server at.

im about to go setup my spare n100 just for this project. If all it uses is a lil bandwidth then that's perfect for my 10gbps fiber and n100.

Same here. I am geniunely asking myself for what though. I mean, they'll receive a list of the linked domains, but what will they do with that?

After a while I started to get "Google asks for a login" errors. Should I just keep going? There's no indication on what I should do on the ArchiveTeam wiki

Thanks for sharing this. I've often felt that the ease by which we can erase digital content makes our time period susceptible to a digital dark ages to archaeologists studying history a few thousand years from now.

Us preserving digital archives is a good step. I guess making hard copies would be the next step.

Just started, super easy to set up

Why wouldn’t Google just publish a database of URLs? Even just a CSV file? Infuriating.

I suspect there are links to some really bad shit in there. Google is probably in damage control mode.
