Just to reminder you that these dont last forever. Some of the early chan-threads with material backed up to archive.is are already dead.
My suggestion would be that you use HTTrack website copier. It can copy as many sites as you want which are then linked to the original site you start with. It is nasty to configure, so I will give you some tips: maximum depth( for links which stay on the same address) minimum should be 2, external mirroring depth never above 1, as with each hop the amount of data downloaded rises exponentially. With default-settings it downloads at 25kb/s, you can alter that in windows to 250-500kb/s.
While it could be interesting to download "parts of the internet" with external depth well above 2, you may get legally in severe trouble because sometimes, altoughh extreme rarely people post direct links to Childporn images.
So make sure that you have good OPSEC. Best would be Tails+Tor+VPN

Could you link to one of them? I'd really like to see this for myself. I know there's a 'report abuse' button on archive.is but so far haven't seen first-hand deleted pages there.
The only pages that I've seen someone mention were missing are some extra pages from the jimmycomet Instagram profile page that it's believed were 'lost' during a merge of duplicate content (since everyone was hitting the archive button every few minutes for the same page). However the archived pages for the images themselves seem to still be live (at least all the 21 pages I know of).
It's an excellent reminder to always save pages though. The downside is that without a third-party archive site copy people can always claim someone tampered with the content (I've experienced this myself where a screenshot wasn't enough, but thankfully someone had made an archived copy).

MEGA is a wonderful solution to keep archives, or any http page confidentiality saved on your device, very simple to use on top of it all. Save the page from your browser setting into PDF file, share to MEGA and transfer/upload it from there. If your using from an Android device, it adds a little extra to your benefit by giving you 50gig cloud storage at no cost if you plan to not use it for heavy files or on a consistent transfer storage bank. If you need more space, a monthly membership is optional as well.

just to be clear, archive.is is a separate entity to Internet Archive's wayback machine.
I hold Internet Archive to be more accountable than archive.is, which has shady ownership.

What do you mean archive.is is disappearing?

They are not permanent archives (so why they're called archives I'll never know) and they expire.

There's nowhere on the site this is stated and the FAQ states archived content will be attempted to be stored 'virtually forever' (obviously dependent on the site's financing). There is still the risk of takedowns when abuse is reported or (presumably) from outside pressure behind the scenes but we wouldn't be privy to the latter.

I stand corrected. For the record .

Yeah - me too. After the Great Reddit Edit I ws thinking anything might be happening online nowadays.
