Hi all, I want to preface by saying that I am NOT A CODER and this is basically my only experience using command prompts, so please ELI5. I’ve tried a couple different things and none of them have worked.

Fandom images are all hosted on static.wikia.nocookie.net/[wiki name here]/ and I was able to find them on Wayback Machine under this domain, all being listed as image files. I put this into the Wayback Machine Downloader, however, all of these images downloaded as index.html files with a bunch of random code/text and no images. No clue why.

So then, I was able to find a list of image links by using [http://web.archive.org/cdx/search/cdx?url=url name here]*&output=txt. I tried to insert this list into JDownloader to download current versions, and for a smaller wiki, it worked like a charm, but for a larger one (roughly 100k links), nothing worked. I couldn’t copy and paste the links into the pop up box for links, I couldn’t drag the links, I couldn’t drag a txt file with the links— it would freeze for a second, then go on like nothing happened.

Where do I go from here? Any advice would be helpful. Thank you!
