Yeah, it seems like the download links are expired maybe. And yes I know what you mean, there were so many awesome shots on that site, kicking myself now that
I didn't download and save more when the site was still up and running haha However I have discovered another possible archive that could yield results, I'm going to keep
you guys updated if I find anything : )

There used to be this archive where you could search a username and then download their galleries:

https://ia601908.us.archive.org/11/items/webshots-freeze-frame-index/index.html

However when you try to download the files it no longer seems to work.

So then I searched Wayback Machine which came back with a bunch of results from something called
ArchiveTeam WebShots Freeze Frame, which looks like this:

https://archive.org/search.php?query=webshots

Clicking into one of them and checking the file contents came up with a list like this:

https://ia600308.us.archive.org/tar...me-20121009150301/webshots-20121009150301.tar

I downloaded some and it works, you can view the users entire gallery just as it
looked on Webshots. The usernames go alphabetically in the list for this particular collection
but I can't figure out how it's organized. Clicking into other collections comes up with different
names so I don't know how it's laid out. If there was a way to search more easily then it could
possibly be a way to find some great old shots : )
