On macOS, it created the initial index file and then proceed to download several articles, links and screencap, but got stuck on this one:

Is there a screenshot.png file present in html/archive/1509635498 and does it look correct?
If you run archive.py again, does it freeze in the same place?
If you manually run the screenshot command, does it freeze?

chromium-browser --disable-gpu --headless --screenshot --window-size=1440,900 http://www.dslreports.com/shownews/Verizon-Wants-FCC-to-Ban-States-From-Protecting-Your-Privacy-140625

It's been a couple weeks so I'm closing this due to inactivity, but feel free to re-open if you're still having issues!

Generally just restarting BA has fixed issues like this in the past for me, although if you see it happening multiple times definitely post back so we can figure out the root cause.
