Tried to download website. Tried different timestamp options. Nothing worked. The website is on archive.org. Several years of the site are on archive.org, but the software does not recognize this.

As in the example you just have to specify the website URL not the full url from archive.org

jimlynnjulian commented 6 years ago

The links are exact copies of urls that were problems.

byAaronC commented 6 years ago

@jimlynnjulian instead of using the entire wayback machine URL like you have, use just the site url (i.e. www.familychristmasonline.com/) and select the parameters you want from here

I'm currently getting this exact same issue, on Windows 7 and latest version of Ruby. Nothing I type seems to work, no matter the combinations or spelling. The website I'm trying to download also doesn't use .com btw... so I hope that isn't contributing to the problem. The website is, of course, most definitely archived despite what the error is saying. Either way I'd really like to figure this out...

Edit: Nevermind, apparently it didn't like the folder directory I was choosing as its output, but leaving it default fixed it! Hopefully if others come across this problem, they'll be able to fix it just as easily lol
