Domain problems again.
“archive.today” is attacked by fake DMCA and Child Porn requests and may work unstable.
Today OnlineNIC interrupted the service twice based only on private emails with fake DMCA requests and rude wording about how bad the website is.
Can anyone recommend a reliable registrar for a domain with .today extension which will not disrupt the service without a court order? Or it would be easier to drop it and never again have a deal with newTLD? (I talked to Donuts’ VP during the past incident with “Gransy” and got an idea that they allow their resellers (registrars of newTLD domains) to interrupt the service as their discretion. So to say “we do not like you” policy. Thus, an successful attacker must not provide any documents to support her claims, she only needs to create a negative impression and your newTLD domain will be disabled; perhaps few times a day).

Isn't running archive. is expensive? Thank you for providing this free service btw. Why do donations go to a pet rescue fund instead of the webpage capture project? Are they affiliated with each other?
Anonymous
We are not affiliated. At first, there was a link to WebCite’s fundraising project, but they were not happy with my initiative. I browsed few random projects and chose that pet rescue fund.
Also, I heard that people are more willing to help animals than other people. Thus the donations to a pet rescue fund can be seen as the upper estimate of how donation to the webpage capture project would perform.

If and when archive_dot_is can no longer support its archived materials is there a way users can be notified of discontinued service. Like if something really bad happens financially and archive_dot_is can't be supported anymore will it's users be notified and will there be some plan like move everything over to the waybackmachine?
Financially there should be no problem. Although, something bad could happen. So consider having a backup at another place.

Ну почему нельзя добавлять форчановские /ХХХ/catalog anymore?
It should work now.
If does not - please tell me the exact url.

Is it no longer possible to archive updates/changes to a particular URL? Seems like when submitting a particular site to the archive that has been archived in the past, it now just returns the last archived version rather than saving a new copy.
It should work now.
If does not - please tell me the exact url.

The reCAPTCHA on this "Ask me anything" form is quite painful to use. After clicking the checkbox, the upper part of the box (where it says which images you need to select) is cut off by the "Ask me anything" header. I completed it through "Inspect Element", but that's quite annoying. This is on a relatively small display (1600x900, 14") with Firefox 43 on Debian GNU/Linux... I'm not sure if there's anything you can do about it (since it's a Tumblr iframe), but I thought I'd let you know anyway.
You can use email.

It should work now.

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).
