I noticed that for last couple of nights and now archives.org can not be reached.

Does anybody know what's going on? Did they move to another address?

... I guess computer was doing something weird: a request for updates popped up, I downloaded some update software and when computer restarted the site worked.

Sorry - was my computer program apparently

Sorry for misspell. May be it's my internet provider: still can not reach...

Hmmm… can't reach this page​

archive.org took too long to respond

Try:
ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT
I've had the same problem trying to reach a forum that I'm a mod on. Only solution we've found is a work around, by using a VPN to access the forum. This has been happening since a forum update a couple months ago.
Edit; this is on my android phone with the latest updates, using FF, Brave, and some other browsers. But if I use my friends WiFi there is no problem.

There are a couple sites I have difficulty reaching with my standard browser, so I have couple additional ones downloaded that I can use whenever I seem to be having trouble. This happens with Vintage Machinery and Alloy Artifacts the most, but I can see it happening with others if I haven't updated my system recently.

archive.org is one of my favorite sites but they do have occasional issues or outages that last hours or days. Books disappear and the internal website search engine stinks but they are a huge resource. I've learned to screenshot/download cuz it might be gone tomorrow.

Just for kicks I dug up the first version of SK Tool's Website from 2003, socket knuckles, yea baby!
