Can this tool be used to save fake webpages with the same address as another site? (ex. saving a yahoo article under a huffingtonpost URL)

No.

How can I donate?

There were a lof of snapshots taken with wrong encoding because the archive’s browser failed to detect the charset properly (example: http://archive.is/je9bT/image). I was convinced that after the chain of wrong conversions it is almost impossible to recover the original text and postponed the problem until the next browser update. This appeared surprisingly easy because of another bug in the browser, which preserves some extra information needed for text recovery. The broken pages are recovered (http://archive.is/je9bT), graphical screenshots are not.
Some bugs could remain (known one is with broken Korean and broken Japanese text on the same page), please report if you spot wrong encoding. -
We just donated. We did see an odd message "Not active: the donee hasn't filled the identity form". We thought the form had been filled out when we donated, so this may be a bug.
Just filled. Thank you!

How are you paying for the servers? Are you just paying for them yourself out of pocket?
Ok, let’s make it transparent.
https://liberapay.com/archiveis/donate - the blue side of the bar is from your pocket and the gray is from mine. There is also few pennies (literally) from ads on XXX-pages, perhaps to delete them would be more profitable than to monetize.

I see you serve archived pages whose links are all 'local' is links that 301-redirect to the actual linked addresses. I'm sure there is some compelling reason for this, it must boost your traffic a bit... pray tell, what was/is that reason? Is there a way to archive a page that will serve it with direct links? I'm asking because I archived a page with many jump off points, and with the 301 delays I'm not sure people would want to use it. Thanks kindly.
This is just an old bug. Preserving local links is in the TODO-list for more than two years and still not done :(

No matter what I do, I get that GD reCaptcha. Every effing time. My system is scanned for malware by Sophos. I use a VPN from Private Internet Access. But no matter how clean, how safe my home network is, your system refuses to allow me in without that stupid captcha. Can't you give me a login or cookie to get around this?
The captcha is by Cloudflare, it appears before my site enters the game. As currently there is no attack, the security settings is set to the minimal level. Perhaps your VPN neighbour had done something really bad.

Could I please either get a login, or could you use cookies, so I don't have to deal with than damn Captcha?
The captchas is not mine, it is Cloudflare’s. I think, they use cookies to remember you.

How do you guys keep the lights on? I gave the donate button a poke, but it redirected me to a fundraiser for a bunch of kittens. (I mean, yeah, kittens are cute, but they don't pay for server uptime, I should think).
Few $10-20 donations don’t pay it either.
It requires about $3500-4000/mo (only for the servers, not counting worktime, etc).
Maybe some sponsorship or co-branding would go.
