No, check out that sample:

1 ixtractor parses that gallery http://www.teamnude.com/twistys511/al4a.html
2 grabs image links and creates that page in their system http://www.ixtractor.com/display335248.html
3. images are directly linked from host. like http://www.teamnude.com/twistys511/01.jpg

As you can see, they are hotlinking images not the page itself. So, in 35 minutes that folder (image) won't be there. Images will be broken unless they re-parse the gallery page to grab new image links. But those will be broken again after 30 mins..

I hope this helps...
