i think there is something wrong with those links.
maybe it relies on a functionality that google has since stopped offering.
i am not a google specialist.
but the way you can get it to work in most occasions is by eliminating the cache info and just searching for the file.
eg. from this link:
http://216.239.37.104/search?q=
cache:YYOHqSIqph4J:textz.gnutenberg.net/
textz/adorno_theodor_w_anti-semitism_and_fascist_propaganda.txt
just search for this file
adorno_theodor_w_anti-semitism_and_fascist_propaganda.txt.
now with exactly this file it is not working, because in early 2004 textz.com got cease and desisted because of this text (more info here: textz.com/adorno).
but with most other files i checked it did work.
