Thank you so much for what you do! Question: Any chance of dumping all data you've saved to BitTorrent - or, better yet, IPFS? One ,tar.xz per domain name per year, or something like that.

This would require 3 times more storage (as the copy would be about 2 times bigger because of lack of the deduplication of the images).

How do you inline the computed styles of every element?
Isn’t is straightforward?

I ♥ "archive today". But have anonymity problem : when I archive some FaceBook pages, adverts specific to my location are included . I've tried stripping back the FaceBook URL to the bare-minimum , and clearing FaceBook cookies, but adverts specific to my location are still included in the archive copy of the FaceBook page. Can anything be done to avoid giving away my location ?
This location leak is intentional. For example, it allows the sites with weather forecast to target your location, not mine. It you want to hide your location, there are plenty of tools for it (proxies, Tor, Hola, etc).

What is the storage total now? Do you ever plan to have a "technical statistics" page to entertain nerds?
I think to write about technical side a bit later. So far there is a big gap between the vision (“how it should work”) and reality (”how does it work“).

Сколько времени хранятся данные url? Максимальный объем хранимой памяти? Это платная услуга или нет?
Вечно. Бесплатно.

Private policy.
There were many questions about the private policy and whether archive.is tracks users.
The website itself does not set any cookies and it does not track user identities (there are no user accounts and no RTB-ads), but:
- There is Google Analytics javascript code on the all archive.is’s pages for statistics and downtime alerts. It may track users. A private installation of the statistic/monitoring software is in the TODO-list although not high-priority.
- The access logs are kept for 7 days. Sometimes archive.is is used to capture ephemeral tweets or webpages with child-porn and we get requests about them from the police and the regional agencies dealing with child-porn abuse.

Hello, it looks like archive is is no longer able to expand Livejournal comments. Ex: archive is TQaZg We ran a sample page through Dreamwidth (an LJ fork) and it still works archive is OLlJq Also when we tried running just the comments we ended up with a blank page: archive is 6NjZz Thank you.
I will check.
Sometimes it did not work due of livejournal slow responses.

The bookmarklet doesn't work on Twitter. I'm using Firefox.
I am afraid the only ways are:
- use another browser
- try the Firefox extention instead of the bookmarklet (I did not tested it)
Firefox has in its source code the four domains where bookmarklets should not work: twitter.com, github.com, mail.google.com, reddit.com (but they do work on www.reddit.com)
- use another browser

Google Translate is no longer being archived. I used archive-is with news articles after being put through Google Translate. Now pages translated using that service no longer seem to be capable of being archived. Help!
Fixed!
Thank you for reporting!
