The FBI has subpoenaed the domain registrar of archive.today, demanding information about the owner.

    Sorry, “Suffixes” was a confusing expression on my part because then I went on to list the TLD’s.

    I wasn’t talking about different domains. I was talking about different folders. What we have here is two copies of the same folder in the same domain.

    Other person gave
    https://archive.ph/TFqAx

    I gave
    https://archive.is/5QFkF

    So
    https://archive.is/TFqAx
    and
    https://archive.ph/5QFkF
    work too.

    Either 5QFkF or TFqAx should exist, not both. That is how it normally works.

      They are captures of the same page at different times .

      https://archive.is/5QFkF is the snapshot taken 7 Nov 2025 01:40 and

      https://archive.is/TFqAx is the one taken 6 Nov 2024 17:08

        Thanks. I see now that there is a history button. How long has that been the case?

          Not sure. I’ve only known about the site for half a year or so.

            I know that when you try to archive a site that is already on there, it just serves up the old version. I don’t even know how you would create different versions.

              Huh… I didn’t realize that. I’m actually not sure how you would get it to take a new capture.

                From what I recall, at the time that it detects that it already has an archive copy of the page you’re requesting, it will tell you that it has an existing archive and ask you if you want to see that one or create a new one. They may also show the date and timestamp of the existing archive. This is all from memory and it’s been at least a few weeks since I saw it, so my description may not be entirely accurate.
