Command outputs garbled mess as html

[Nasko-5]

I tried to download a site using wayback_machine_downloader https://www.sngollogns.com/ --from 20221025232115 --all --directory ./snapshot/, but for some reason the outputted .html files were just a string of random and unreadable characters

is this an encoding issue of some sort?

Try this: https://github.com/hartator/wayback-machine-downloader/issues/265 Replace the /var/lib/gems/2.5.0/gems/wayback_machine_downloader-2.3.1/lib/wayback_machine_downloader.rb with the modified one.
It really works in my situation.
