Shutdown

Trovebox is shutting down

We’ll be shutting down the hosted Trovebox service on March 31, 2015. We may extend this deadline to help accomodate customers to obtain archives of their photos.

If you have an account you can choose to archive your photos or reach out by sending us an email at support@trovebox.com.

The last 3 ½ years have taught us that the path to a destination is rarely straight. Many of you have stayed with us as we evolved Trovebox and some of you have evolved it for your own purpose.

We believe the best is yet to come. Some of the team will be joining another much larger company to pursue our original goal of preserving digital memories. It’s an idea that we’re excited about and have incubated for most of 2014. Consider it a “fork” of the Trovebox you know today.

Trovebox wouldn't exist if it wasn't for our early Kickstarter backers who pledged more than $25,000 and the wonderful folks at the Shuttleworth Foundation who provided over $700,000 in funding.

We sincerely thank you for using Trovebox. You've helped make it everything that it will become.

How can I help?

Running a Warrior

You can start up a Warrior and there select Trovebox. (If you don't really care what you are archiving, select ArchiveTeam's Choice instead, as at some points ArchiveTeam may priorize another project.)

Running the script manually

If you use Linux and you're a bit familiar with it, you can try running the script directly.

The instructions can be found at github.com/ArchiveTeam/trovebox-grab.

Some additional information

Don't forget to replace YOURNICKHERE with your nickname. The number after --concurrent determines how many threads run at the same time. You can increase this number if your resources (RAM, CPU, bandwidth) are sufficient. However, if you constantly see messages about rate limiting, there is no need to increase the concurrency. If you want to stop the script, please do it gracefully if possible. To do so, create an empty file named STOP in the folder of the script (terminal command: touch STOP). The script finishes the current item(s) and stops only after that. (If you kill the script immediately, the items get broken, and they will need to be reassigned to another user.) – Before starting the script again, don't forget to remove the STOP file. If you see "Project code is out of date", kill the script, go to its folder (cd trovebox-grab) and issue git pull https://github.com/ArchiveTeam/trovebox-grab. After the updating has finished, re-launch the script.

Donating to the Internet Archive

Content downloaded by the ArchiveTeam will be uploaded to the Internet Archive, where it will be stored and be available – hopefully – forever. However, storing it costs thousands of dollars in the long run. So, if you can afford, please consider donating to the Internet Archive, so that this piece of history can be kept for us all. http://archive.org/donate
