It appears that Feb 2004 was the last time the records were updated. Anyone knows what happened?
 
Never noticed that ... I too wonder why they've seemingly stopped.

However, for some select domains, they continued archiving up to July-17-2004 ... ie. cnn.com, slashdot.org, and amazon.com to name a few.

It's strange they'd stop, but then perhaps their funding ran out and/or the task became too large and they've chosen to go with a much longer interval between visits, like a year?

The Wayback Machine, which currently contains over 100 terabytes of data and is growing at a rate of 12 terabytes per month, is the largest known database in the world, containing multiple copies of the entire publicly available web. This eclipses the amount of data contained in the world's largest libraries, including the Library of Congress

Quite a project to keep going!
 
mine was last update in march
 
Wow, 100 Terabytes. How on earth do they fund such a project?
 
well... 400G SATA/ATA HDD retails for only around $200.. so technically.. is not that expensive.

but i'm probably sure they are not suing SATA/ATA/UATA HDD
 
I wish I could find a 400GB drive for around $200. The ones I see are about $350+! ;)
 
look in your server logs.
Wayback machine has visited some of my sites in the last 2 weeks.
they just do not show the results online
 
Haven't they always been showing information that is older than 8 to 12 months? I can never actually remember them showing information for the last few months at any one time.
 
Anyone notice the machine down today? it worked this morning but not for the past few hours
