Is Internet Archive down?

Right now, Internet Archive appears to be operational. Internet Archive doesn't publish a status page, so there's nothing official to read. Our own live check against its API is getting a normal response, so it appears to be working.

DownRN runs an independent reachability check from our own servers. If our check passes but you still can't connect, the problem is more likely local — try a different network, clear your cookies, disable VPN/extensions, or use a different browser. If our check is failing too, it's more likely Internet Archive's side.

Internet Archive is currently operational. Internet Archive doesn't publish a status feed we can read, so DownRN determines its server status from an independent reachability check plus live community reports — refreshed every 60 seconds, and we never invent numbers.

Yes — this page is a live Internet Archive down detector. It aggregates real user reports, shows an outage map and recent incident history, runs an independent check from our own servers, and tells you whether Internet Archive is down for everyone or just you — plus what else goes down with it. It's free, with no login, and DownRN never invents report numbers.

If lots of people are reporting problems here right now, Internet Archive is down for everyone — not just you. If reports are quiet and our independent check passes, it's more likely on your end: try switching between Wi-Fi and mobile data, restarting the app, or clearing your cache. DownRN shows live report volume so you can tell the difference fast — and Internet Archive's outage map shows which areas are affected.

Common causes are an upstream provider incident, API rate limits during peak demand, a regional CDN issue, or maintenance. Internet Archive is currently operational. We show the official status, our independent check, and a confidence level so you can see which signals point to a real problem.

Internet Archive is currently operational. DownRN tracks Internet Archive outages in real time and keeps a full outage history — see the live status above, and past Internet Archive incidents with their durations and recovery times on the outage history page. We never invent outages.

Based on our checks, Internet Archive is operational right now. The problems people report most are login, the feed, messaging or payments — see the live reports and the "what usually breaks" breakdown above for the specific surfaces affected, plus what else is going down with it.

Outages can be regional — a CDN, routing or ISP issue can hit one area while the rest of the world is fine. DownRN's Internet Archive outage map shows where people are reporting problems right now, by country and US state, so you can see whether Internet Archive is down in your area or everywhere.

Internet Archive doesn't publish a status page — there's no official dashboard or status feed to check. The closest thing is https://x.com/internetarchive, where Internet Archive posts outage updates by hand. That's why DownRN checks Internet Archive directly instead: we read a live API endpoint that only responds when the service is genuinely working, and combine it with user reports.
