Wayback machine downloader allows you to download the source code from archive.org ‘wayback machine’ snapshots to create PBNs, recover hacked websites, generate legal evidence, steal competitors content and more. Wayback machine downloader is a simple cloud based tool that is all available to anyone without downloading or configuring any software or tools. Download/clone the entire archive.org wayback machine snapshot to your hard drive in seconds. Download in just two simple steps Step 1 Go to archive.org and copy the URL of the wayback machine snapshot you want to download Step 2 Paste the URL into wayback machine downloader Important features All assets (HTML,css, javascript, images, etc) are converted into locally usable/accessible format instead of pointing to external domains. Archive.org bar is removed from each page by default. Links are converted to link internally instead of externally. I’m personally very excited about the ability to create PBNs from expired domains. We’ll be adding the option to download the wayback machine snapshot as a WordPress theme for even easier PBN creation (subscribe for updates on the website if this interests you). Here’s a quick 30 second explainer video:
Would love to hear your brutal and honest feedback and answer any questions that may arise here on PH or via onsite chat!
I guess a Chrome extension would be nice for the power users!

great idea! And it's definitely something we are looking to implement in the near future
Is this like a GitHub for Wayback machine? It feels like I'm downloading from someone's repo
Maker
yes kind of like Github, as we enable to download the full history of any website!
Regarding the video, I've never heard anyone pronounce the word archive as "arr-chive". It's always been "arr-kive". That was really distracting! Is arr-chive how everyone it Britain says it?
that's not a British accent as far as I can tell! I've never heard it pronounced arr-chive here.

hehe, thanks for the heads up, I think it's because Henrik's aussie roots
More feedback when downloading would be neat to see, now i don't know anything about what the program is doing as right now. A progressbar or just an embedded terminal window showing what's going on would give me a hint of the progress of the program :)
Would also be better if i just could enter my email on the website, ask your service to download the website i want to be made avaliable for local use and then get a notification when the service is done processing eveyrthing. I've had the download witndow open for 9+ hours and 'nothing' is happening, i have no indication as to how far your service has processed my request. Implementing the email thing could also give you leads that you could advertise to via mail (if the user signs up to receive the website in the mail there could be a tickbox asking 'want to get our newsletter?' too).
Nice trick for recreating old sites if you're making PBNs and want to keep them the same. Especially if you're fixing all of the internal links. I'll have to play with it some.

hey Ross, thanks for the feedback. That's exactly what we are doing/aiming to do, so let me know if you run in to any issues! :)
A browser bookmarklet would be very useful for this, while a command line app would also be a welcome addition to it.
Maker
than you for the suggestion, we'll be sure to look in to power user tools in the near future!

Website is down?
Looks like i cached the website when it was down. Back up again (y)
How long does it take? It's been minutes. It's been going for 3 hours.
Maker
we had some some issues because of the PH traffic, but usually should be just minutes for normal sites
Trying again now. Still going.
⚡️ Nice one! Added to:
