    Well darn. I truly was hoping I could grab a collection from archive.org, and possibly bring back memories as a result, but alas, it wasn't meant to be. And since my attempt at grabbing this content was unsuccessful, I'll say what I wanted to do. I wanted to grab the complete website capture from the ancient treasure Trove known as QAudio, which is, or at least was, on archive.org in 7 parts. According to the data on this collection, it's 289 GB in size. I was hoping to dig through this collection to find some postings of certain things, and possibly bring back memories of stuff I'd forgotten about that was posted there back in the day. However, it mentions the data is access restricted, and even logging into my archive.org account, something I literally haven't done in over 15 years, I still can't access the data. Here is the web page on archive.org where you can read about the data that apparently noone can access anymore. :( archive.org/details/archivetea

    @kd6cae One possibility is that a lot of people uploaded a lot of copyrighted music to Q-audio, so maybe they were forced to take it down because of that. I have a portion of that archive as downloaded by myself, but unfortunately it's on a currently disconnected and put away drive.

    @jaybird110127 True, but is there anyway at all that I can perhaps get at that? I am very annoyed when I can search for but not access content. I mean that's the whole point of archive.org. If I want it, I should be able to access it. I myself have content up there, and if I find it's gone private and I would never do that, I'll be steaming mad.

    @jaybird110127 What was the point of preserving such historical stuff if now noone now can access it? Anyway, if I can ever get that stuff I will no doubt find all kindsof things that'll bring back memories for me, which is why I was thinking about it recently
