How to find runs on archive.org
When you're looking for a run, check SDA first; if the run is current, it will be on the appropriate game page there. If a run is obsolete, it will be on archive.org. You'll want to search the speed_runs collection using the game name and runner name. For example, if you're looking for Metroid in 0:29:10 by Red Scarlet, you would do the following search:
https://www.archive.org/search.php?query=metroid%20red%20scarlet%20collection:(speed_runs)
If you don't find the run you're looking for, try widening the search by only searching for the game name (but keep the "collection:(speed_runs)" part of the search to avoid getting non-speed run videos). Some runs cannot be found with this method, however. If the run was posted in 2008 or later, it was probably uploaded in a batch and you may not be able to find it by searching for the game name. Instead, you'll want to look for the batch the run was uploaded in. The list of batches is here. Each batch contains several run identifiers. Your best bet to find the one you want is to Ctrl+F for the time concatenated into a single number. For example, if you're looking for Banjo-Kazooie in 2:40:05, search for "24005". This will lead you to the run identifier BanjoKazooie_SS_100p_24005. This appears to be what we're looking for, so look at the batch it's in on the left-hand side of the page: "2009-10-08-SDA_Speed_Runs". This tells you what page of archive.org the download links can be found at:
https://www.archive.org/details/2009-10-08-SDA_Speed_Runs
Look for the run identifier in the list of files to find the links. When searching for the run identifier in the list above, leave off leading zeroes in the time. For example, if you're looking for Castlevania: The Adventure ReBirth in 0:20:26, search for "2026", not "02026".
What if we want to find the comments for a run that is no longer on SDA? If the run was uploaded before 2008 or so, it likely has its own archive.org details page and the comments will be there. If the run was uploaded as part of a batch, the batch page will not have the comments, but they may exist in the Wayback Machine. Find the URL of the game page on SDA and put it into the Wayback Machine. If you're lucky, the page will have been archived on a date when the run was current.

IL tables
The IL tables are currently a work in progress and the following game tables are only here as an example of how it might look like.
