Anyone know what to do with the downloaded zip file? Is there another site that will rehost it in an easy to use way?

EDIT: the curl command in this script doesn't seem to download the right thing. Still figuring it out.

Here's a simple bash script for downloading zips of all the archive.is files in a given text document. I'm using this to keep a local copy of all the archive.is zips in my local research doc, but one could easily make a script that will scan the voat threads and download the zips in them as well.

function download_archive_zips() {
echo "downloading archive.is zips found in $1"
string=`cat $1`
pattern="http://archive.is/[a-zA-Z]{5}”
for word in $string
do
    [[ $word =~ $pattern ]]
    if [[ ${BASH_REMATCH[0]} ]]
    then
        match="${match:+match }${BASH_REMATCH[0]}"
       symbol=`echo "$match" | sed 's/.*\///'`
       sleep 1
       curl -o ~/$symbol.zip "http://archive.is/download/${symbol}.zip"
    fi
done
}

just to play devil's advocate you could be easily accused of modifying the data after it was saved. I think the Internet Archive seems ok

I saw your comment too late. Someone download the zip and post it?

if archive.is is compromised wouldn't downloading stuff from this site be the dumbest thing to do?

Not a techy here but you can also directly save webpages right? (right click/save as)

This is another reason why I built citizeninvestigators.org. Evidence is being censored everywhere, and we have already lost so much information in the last couple of months. The site archives information and images/videos/screenshots people post by tags so that anyone can go back and find information related to any topic that's been discussed quickly and easily. Check it out if you haven't seen it yet.

When I make an archive, or if I find an archive interesting, I always save the file. Someone must have saved the files -- please post. Put them on mega.nz.

Thanks for sharing zip info 😊

1. CTRL + S on the page you wish to archive to create a local copy
2. Use Archive.is to make a backup and save the .zip
3. Take a screen-cap of the page itself and save it not only on your rig but also upload it to multiple sources.
4. Be prepared to argue validity due to how easily edited pages and images are nowadays.
