The Wayback Machine

Post by AnniDv6 »


Anyone ever used the internet Wayback Machine?

https://archive.org/web/

Basically it's an archive of a bunch of snapshots of websites saved over the years. You can use it to see what websites looked like at certain points, click links, browse old forums etc., but the main thing I use it for is finding old download links, somehow they still work a lot of the time.

For example if you search for http://www.Annihilation.info and then go to search website URLS and then look for .zips you will be able to download all the old annihilation.info downloads:
https://web.archive.org/web/*/annihilation.info/*

The cool thing is that once you are in one of the old snapshots you can click around on the sites and go to all the links to all the other old sites as well and you will stay inside the archive for those sites.

Here are some other old Tribes sites that are interesting to look at in the Wayback Machine:
