What is happening?:
The bot rescues one dead link, but misses the Mashable link which has a 404 error:

http://mashable.com/2013/06/17/ad-blocker-helps-ad-industry/

What should happen instead?:
I think the bot should have been able to rescue the Mashable link. IA have archived it:

I guess this one will be closed / marked as duplicate, but it wouldn't hurt to have a second example.

There is a minimum waiting period before the bot conclusively determines the link is dead, and that period has not passed yet.
