Hi Guys,
I need to build a copy of a dead site from wayback machine. The site has been offline for almost six months and its pages are no longer indexed in google. The site is pretty big with more than 100,000 pages. It was not a wordpress site but i need to transfer all its content to a WP site.What would you recommend would be the best way to it. I have also already downloaded it from wayback but the downloaded copy is not as per original sitemap, the content is all mixed up. So my only hope is transfer all the content directly from wayback to my new site. Is there any way out there to automate this process or manual copy is the only option? Thanks
 
I think there is a tool/service called wayback machine ripper or downloader, archiver or something? I haven't tried it as I don't stumbled that many pages in wayback machine, so can't tell if the tool is reliable and do what it says.

Not sure if HTTrack can do that also...
 
i dnt think it can be automated.You have to manually copy the articles
 
This is the problem, the site is so big that it would take ages to copy it manually.
 
There is a paid service to get a website from way back! There are a few threads here on BHW already, you may search them.

And you can try one of these:

hmm, I didn't refer to HTTRACK it can't do what you want to do, already tested it for some time ago!
