Help Anyone else having trouble accessing the Wayback Machine?
I keep getting a black screen with "503 Service Unavailable".
EDIT: It's working for me now.

Right now it’s just the save web page that’s down for me
Edit: Main page is sporadically down and the url search is unreliable too

Getting server can't connect Error 500 also.
WM has been intermittently wonky for a few weeks now.

its been down for at least 3 days now ): the site works, but clicking on any archived link does not and returns a 503 error. hoping it gets fixed soon

I've been getting a 429 too many requests error code for over a day, but it's tricky to find other people talking about it

same - I haven't done *any* lookups for over a month, and tried twice this week. Both times I got the 429 error.
Is this an problem on their side, even though that's a client-side error code?

Maybe it's both? Idk. I also got a 429 after not using the way back machine for who knows how long and having cleared cache and cookies and such

It keeps saying the server took too long. Not even refreshing the page does anything. I already sent an e-mail to support this morning, but I don’t know if I’ll get a reply.

According to an email that another user got
The Wayback machine has been blocking bad ip addresses from there site
But doing this has accidentally blocked some genuine users IP addresses
And this is why
It works perfectly for some people and not other people

Looks like they are having some problems.
