I'm trying to get a archived link for this website, which I want to archive for a bachelor thesis. But it's always giving me errors when clicking the timestamp on the calendar where it says it was archived. I'd really appreciate some help, I've been trying to troubleshoot for a few hours now. https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/real-life-stories/psychologist-blinds-woman-drain-cleaner-6552282

Edit: ok, I went back to 2015 on the calendar and it worked from back then. Idk if the robot.txt is preventing more recent archive attempts. Here is a functioning link just to have this post completed as "answered" https://web.archive.org/web/20151002133313/https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/real-life-stories/psychologist-blinds-woman-drain-cleaner-6552282

Have you considered archiving the website and its assets on your own drive for future reference? Could be worthwhile for working without an Internet connection, for instance.

If you are comfortable with a command line, wget can be used to archive whole websites

Always good to have another tool in the toolkit. Thanks for that!
