As of the last 24 hours I have observed the same behaviour while archiving HN posts using "Save Page Now" feature of Internet Archive's Wayback Machine. After I start the page archival proccess it downloads only the favicon.ico file and stops.

Is this a result of some HN policy? If not, how can Internet Archive team be notified, aside from sending a useless error report with no details?

It must just be a transient error, since "it works on my machine" https://web.archive.org/web/20241120200752/https://news.ycom...
