Does anyone know a way other than wayback machine to recover lost images of a comic that is no longer up? I am specifically looking for para-ten.com, no idea what the author is up to now but never responds to questions about his old comic... (And frankly his new style does not have the same charm). I got most of the pages from wayback, but there are several missing, and was wondering if anyone knew of a similar archive or another way to get them back.
Any chance someone saved these pages haha? ... Missing pg 50, 60, 63, 130, 137, 207, 215, 221, 228
I don't have anything from this series, but I can provide some advice.
First, have you tried google image searching para-ten and any related, specific terms you can think of? When Kiwis by Beat went down (before the mirror site was up), I was able to find several dozen random pages that way that the wayback machine had missed. You probably won't find all the pages that way, though you may get lucky and find some pinterest or the like where someone uploaded them all.
You might also find someone who translated the comic into another language, in which case you can ask them if they have the originals (got the missing 6 pages of Pelen Purul that way, albeit in lower quality than the originals).
If both of those fail, try storytiming the series both here and on /co/ and see if anyone provides what's missing. This board is slow enough that you can keep this thread alive for weeks.
Ok, I decided to double check you on the wayback machine aspect, and it seems you missed a few.
This is page 50.
This is page 130, obviously
Despite the filename, this is page 215. If you already have this, perhaps you're missing one of the two pages labeled 210.
And here's 228.
If you could upload the rest of what you have, I'd appreciate it.
Are you still alive, OP, or did I find these pages in vain?

Will bump so your effort won't be in vain
Thank you so much, it was not in vain! However I think I messed up and missing 51 not 50... (Sorry I haven't had internet access as I've been traveling). Did you just find these on wayback? I kept getting a broken image link.
But thank you so so much for all your help this was one of my first webcomic series and it holds a special place in my heart

>Did you just find these on wayback?
Yes.
>Sorry I haven't had internet access as I've been traveling
Why did you start a request thread when you were going to be without internet for a while?
Anyway, I'm going to contact the artist and see what he says.
Contra your remarks, ashwara got back to me and said he has no problem with people saving and redistributing Para-Ten.
So here's the rest of your missing pages.
This is page 63.
Despite the filename, this is page 221. And here's a link to the full comic, for any interested persons passing by:

Not OP but thank you! Was actually looking for an entire archive of this last year, but wayback was a pain to rip from. Time to add it to my web comic archives.

>Time to add it to my web comic archives
You wouldn't happen to have Fist from Kiwis by Beat in those archives, would you? Only the first two parts out of six have been found so far.
>>268248
No sorry, I've never even read it.

That doesn't surprise me. It was one of copyrezo's shorter works. It got less response than most of his other comics, but I loved it.
>>268182
OP here thank you so much for going to this length to get the missing pages. I'll admit I was getting a bit exasperated and came off needy. I truly appreciate all that you (and the artist) have done
Thank you so much, I'll try to do a storytime on /co/ this weekend
This isn't my thread but I'm bumping it anyway because I think it deserves to be seen.
Just bumping to say I'm planning on storytiming on co tonight, I'll link it when I start
