There is a site that I want to retrieve from Google Cache that had thousands of pages. Is there any way I can get it back quickly using Google Cache or some other web crawler/archiver?

I created a free service to recover your website which can retrieve most pages from the search engines cache.

The output of the service is a zipped file with your HTML from the search engines cache. It is still in beta so it still needs a lot of tweaks and bugfixes, but hopefully it can help you or other people who experience the same problem.

UPDATE: I didn't have time to continue the development of the service so it is closed.
