Preserve Timestamps #30

Closed dkl3 closed 8 years ago

dkl3 commented 8 years ago

Hi, I'm using Linux (maybe that has something to do with the timestamps), and when I use this script, it doesn't download the files with the original timestamps. This can be corrected by adding "id_" at the end of a snapshot's timestamp. For example:

http://web.archive.org/web/19970227062641/http://www5.yahoo.com/ (original) http://web.archive.org/web/19970227062641id_/http://www5.yahoo.com/ (with id_)

I want the timestamps preserved for historical purposes--so that I capture the original date as well.

What are you expecting more precisely? To have one directory by timestamp or something like that?

dkl3 commented 8 years ago

To download an entire site with the timestamps preserved, pretty much. Yahoo.com was an example I gave--it's just too big to download

We don't have this feature yet, you are welcome to try to submit a PR!

A quick shortcut now will be to create timestamp directory manually then run waybackmachine downlaoder inside each directory with a supplied timestamp.

Do you want to be specific on which command I should type in to do that?

hartator commented 8 years ago

mkdir to create directory, -t 2016010123546 to the tool command line.

Remind me, are you going to add this feature? I'd love having it.

hartator commented 8 years ago

No, I don't plan to implement this feature at this moment. You are welcome to give a shot a hit though.

Maybe I'd try adding -t 2016010123546id (id at the end). Would that work?

hartator commented 8 years ago

Ha, yes sure, this is already working!

I guess the issue should close then. :)
