* [http://pic2.piczo.com/go/home Piczo], a social network for teens, has announced that it's shutting down.<br />
<br />
* '''[http://1up.com 1up.com]''', [http://www.ugo.com/ ugo.com], and [http://www.gamespy.com/ gamespy.com] a collection of video game, news, and fan sites with lots of user-generated content, was purchased by Ziff Davis in February.

<br />
* The '''Centralstation Community''' [http://community.thisiscentralstation.com/_Central-Station-v2-Q38As/blog/5449967/126249.html has closed]. The site is a UK-based social network for artists and creatives that provides hosting for content and portfolio. Users are being advised to back up their work as the new version of their platform will rely on existing media hosting sites like Flickr, Vimeo, and Soundcloud.<br />
<br />
* '''[http://www.groklaw.net/article.php?story=20130818120421175 Groklaw]''' will no longer be posting new articles, "due to government monitoring of the internet, particularly e-mail." Whether or not its archives will remain online is unclear, although it does seem rather unlikely it will 100% disappear. OTOH, better safe than sorry.<br />
<br />
* '''[[Webmonkey]]''' won't be posting new content anymore. It probably won't disappear overnight, but [http://longhandpixels.net/blog/2013/sep/20/whatever-happened-to-webmonkey/ "it wouldn’t hurt to create a backup."]<br />
<br />
* '''[[Ubuntu One]]''' will be shutting down on June 1, 2014. All data will be available until July 31, after which it will be deleted.<br />
<br />
=== Pre-emptive Alarmbells (Likely To Die) ===<br />
<br />
* Archive Team officially proclaims '''[[Yahoo!]]''' the least trustable host and its arch-enemy. Prove us different, Yahooligans. Or... don't. Expect anything in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mergers_and_acquisitions_by_Yahoo! this list] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Yahoo!-owned_sites_and_services this list] to shutdown (if it already hasn't).<br />

Might be a good idea to save these before they disappear.<br />
<br />
* Like Google, Nintendo of Japan has its share of ancient pages, like [http://www.nintendo.co.jp/n02/dmg/mla/index.html this one].<br />
<br />
* '''[[cyberpunkreview.com]]''': 80s science fiction fansite and community {{url|1=http://cyberpunkreview.com/}} hasn't seen much staff activity in a long time, although the forums are going strong. UPDATE: Looking active again. [[User:Aggroskater|Aggroskater]] 08:26, 19 March 2012 (EDT)<br />
<br />
* '''[[WikiLeaks]]''' ({{url|1=http://wikileaks.org/}}) has an uncertain financial situation, and the site was inaccessible for some time in 2010.<br />
<br />
* '''[[FriendFeed]]''' ({{url|1=http://friendfeed.com/}}) has been purchased by [[Facebook]], leaving FriendFeed users uncertain as to its future and mostly unsupported. The Twitter bridge, for instance, has not worked for years now.<br />
<br />
* '''[[The Pirate Bay]]''' ({{url|1=http://www.thepiratebay.org/}}) still having persistent legal problems. The tracker went down in November, but the site still serves torrents and magnet links. If a torrent is lost, it becomes impossible to connect to other computers distributing the shared files. Considering that there are links to TPB on '''THIS VERY PAGE''', this is pretty dang important. Thankfully, the magnet links and entire siterips have now been made, though keeping them updated is sure to be a pain.<br />
<br />
* '''[http://www.ning.com/ Ning]''' has laid off 40% of staff and seems to be running out of money [http://techcrunch.com/2010/04/15/nings-bubble-bursts-no-more-free-networks-cuts-40-of-staff/]. There is certainly some networks worth archiving among the 2 million networks[http://blog.ning.com/2010/01/2-million-ning-networks.html] they host.

<br />
* '''[http://debates.oireachtas.ie/ debates.oireachtas.ie]''' on September 18th, 2012 the Houses of Oireachtas website [http://www.kildarestreet.com/statement2012/ announced] that it would no longer be updating its XMl data for Irish parliamentary debates (1919-2012). Access to pre-existing data is still available, but is likely to disappear, if the current trend continues. It would be useful to at least capture the XML data that is there, while it is still available.<br />

The warrior is a virtual machine, so there is no risk to your computer. The warrior will only use your bandwidth and some of your disk space. It will get tasks from and report progress to the [[Tracker]].<br />
<br />
== Basic usage ==<br />
<br />
The warrior runs on Windows, OS X and Linux using a virtual machine. You'll need one of:<br />
<br />
* [https://www.virtualbox.org/ VirtualBox] (recommended)<br />
* [https://www.vmware.com/products/player/ VMware workstation/player] (free-gratis for personal use)<br />
* [[#Alternative virtual machines|See below for alternative virtual machines]]<br />
<br />
=== Quick start instructions for VirtualBox ===<br />
<br />
# Download the [http://archive.org/download/archiveteam-warrior/archiveteam-warrior-v2-20121008.ova appliance] (174MB).<br />
# Launch VirtualBox<br />
# In VirtualBox, click File > Import Appliance and open the file.<br />
# Start the virtual machine.<br />
#* It will fetch the latest updates and will eventually tell you to start your web browser.<br />
# Using your regular web browser, visit http://localhost:8001/<br />
# On the left, click "Your settings".<br />
# Choose a username - we'll show your progress on the leaderboard.<br />
#* FIXME - What leaderboard? I don't show any. Needs more info. -- [[User:Spiralofhope|spiralofhope]] 04:47, 2 June 2014 (EDT)<br />
# On the left, click "Available projects" tab and pick a project to work on.<br />
#* Even better: select "ArchiveTeam's Choice" to let your warrior work on the most urgent project.<br />
#* FIXME - There is only "ArchiveTeam's Choice", with nothing else listed. -- [[User:Spiralofhope|spiralofhope]] 04:47, 2 June 2014 (EDT)<br />
<br />
== Alternative virtual machines ==<br />
<br />
Thanks to user-effort, there are alternatives:<br />
<br />
* [https://www.docker.io/ Docker] (Linux)<br />
** ([https://github.com/ArchiveTeam/warrior-dockerfile modified dockerfile])<br />
<br />
* [https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/server-cloud/solutions/virtualization.aspx Hyper-V] (Windows 8 Professional)<br />
** ([http://jonimoose.net/2013/archiveteam-warrior-on-hyper-v/ Hyper-V virtual machine])<br />
<br />
Please note that these alternatives are not in widespread use by our warriors, so we may not be able to help with either issues or advanced usage.<br />
<br />
==Warrior FAQ==<br />
__TOC__<br />
=== Why am I seeing a message that no item was received? ===<br />
<br />
It means that there is no work available. This happens for several reasons:<br />
<br />
* There project has just finished and someone is inspecting the work done. If a problem is discovered, items may be re-queued and more work is available.<br />
* In a rare case, you have been banned by a tracker administrator because you were requesting too much work or your internet connection is "unclean". We prefer connections from many public IP addresses, use of non-captive DNS servers, and no proxies/firewalls.<br />
<br />
=== Why am I seeing a message about rate limiting? ===<br />
<br />
Keep in mind that although downloading the internet for digital preservation and fun are the primary goals of all Archive Team activities, serious stress on the target's server may occur. The rate limit is imposed by a [[Tracker#People|tracker administrator]] and should not be subverted.<br />
<br />
===Help! The warrior is eating all my bandwidth!===<br />
<br />
You can limit the warrior's bandwidth quite easily for VirtualBox as long as you are running a relatively recent version. The option is not offered with a GUI however.<br />
<br />
The command <pre>VBoxManage bandwidthctl archiveteam-warrior-2 --name Limit --add network --limit 3</pre> will limit the warrior instance called archiveteam-warrior-2 (the default name of the warrior vm currently) to 3Mb/s. Adjust as needed.<br />
<br />
In the latest version of VirtualBox on Windows, the syntax appears to have changed. The correct command now seems to be:<br />
<br />
<pre>VBoxManage bandwidthctl archiveteam-warrior-2 add netlimit --type network --limit 3</pre><br />
<br />
For more info, consult the [http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch06.html#network_bandwidth_limit VirtualBox manual (Chapter 6, Section 9)].<br />
<br />
===NAT sucks! I want directly-bridged networking!===<br />
<br />
Simples! (If you're running linux, that is.)<br />
<br />
<pre>VBoxManage modifyvm "archiveteam-warrior-2" --nic1 bridged</pre><br />
<br />
<pre>VBoxManage modifyvm "archiveteam-warrior-2" --bridgeadapter1 eth0</pre><br />
<br />
(We presume you want to bind to <code>eth0</code>. Adjust as required. :))<br />
<br />
=== I turned my warrior off. Will those tasks be lost? ===<br />
<br />
If you've killed your warrior instances, then the work your warrior did has been lost, however the tasks will be returned to the pool after a period of time. If you want, you can alert the admins via IRC of what's happened, and they can clear the claims your username may have made. However, this isn't very important on most projects.<br />
<br />
=== I need to disconnect my internet / reboot my PC, but I don't want to lose work. ===<br />
<br />
If you pause/suspend the warrior instance, most projects will allow resuming of work in progress when you unsuspend the warrior instance.<br />
<br />
=== I told the warrior to shutdown from the interface but nothing has changed! What gives? ===<br />
<br />
The warrior will attempt to finish the current running tasks before shutting down. If you need to shut down right away, go ahead. Your progress will be lost, however the jobs will eventually cycle out to another user.<br />
<br />
=== How much disk space will the warrior use? ===<br />
<br />
Short answer: it depends on the project.<br />
<br />
Long answer: because the way each project defines an item differently, the warrior may be downloading a small file or downloading a whole subsection of a website. The virtual machine is configured by default to use 60GB as an absolute maximum. Any unused virtual machine disk space is not used on the host computer. You may, however, run the virtual machine on less than 60GB if you like to live dangerously. We're downloading the internet after all!<br />
<br />
=== The secondary disk is using up space even though it's not running a project. ===<br />
<br />
Virtual machine disk images do not behave like a regular file. There are several ways to reclaim space:<br />
<br />
* Delete the second disk and put back an empty disk. The warrior should reformat the second disk.<br />
* Delete the entire warrior application and re-import it.<br />
* Use the [http://intgat.tigress.co.uk/rmy/uml/index.html zerofree] program and then clone the disk image. Reattach the cloned disk image.<br />
<br />
=== I can't connect to localhost. ===<br />
<br />
The application includes a configuration to set up port forwarding to the guest machine on port 8001 so you can access the interface through your web browser. If this does not happen, you may need to double check your machine's network settings.<br />
<br />
=== The warrior can't connect to the internet. ===<br />
<br />
It may be possible that the virtual machine has picked up the address of the local DNS cache on your computer which the virtual machine does not have access to. <br />
<br />
If you experience this on VirtualBox, see [http://askubuntu.com/questions/204953/virtualbox-dns-stopped-working-on-upgrade-to-12-10 this question and answer].<br />
<br />
=== I'm looking at the text scrolling by and I notice some errors. rsync is not working. ===<br />
<br />
Uh-oh! Something is not right. Notify us immediately in the appropriate [[IRC]] channel.<br />
<br />
=== I'm looking at the leaderboard. What's that icon beside the username? ===<br />
<br />
That's just the warrior logo: [[File:Archive_team.png|42px]] (click on the image for a larger version). It means that that person is using the warrior. Those without the icon are running the scripts manually.<br />
<br />
=== What's that guy doing in the logo? ===<br />
<br />
The place is on fire! But don't worry, he safely escaped with the rescued data in his arms.<br />
<br />
=== I want to log in to the virtual machine. How do I do this? ===<br />
<br />
Unless you know what you are doing, you should not need to do this. But if you want to, the username is <code>root</code> and the password is <code>archiveteam</code>. Then, you can execute <code>sudo -u warrior -i</code> to log in as the warrior user. <br />
<br />
Press ALT+F3 to switch to virtual console number 3. Use ALT+Left or ALT+Right to switch between virtual consoles. There are 6 virtual consoles in total. Consoles 1 and 2 are reserved for the warrior.<br />
<br />
=== The warrior seems to have too much overhead. I can't run a VM in a VPS! ===<br />
<br />
You don't need to run a virtual machine. If you are managing a VPS, it's likely you are comfortable with some Linux stuff. Projects can be run manually. Consult the project wiki page or the source code repository readme file.<br />
<br />
=== Why a virtual machine in the first place? ===<br />
<br />
The virtual machine is a quick, safe, and easy way for newcomers to help us out. It offers many features:<br />
<br />
* Graphical interface<br />
* Automatically selects which project is important to run<br />
* Self-updating software infrastructure<br />
* Allows for unattended use<br />
* In case of software faults, your machine is not ruined<br />
* Restarts itself in case of runaway programs<br />
* Runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux painlessly<br />
* Ensures consistency in the archived data regardless of your machine's quirks<br />
<br />
If you have suggestions for improving this system, please talk to us as described below.<br />
<br />
=== I just imported the ova image and the warrior is stuck on "Preparing the data partition" ===<br />
<br />
This issue has cropped up before and we do not know what causes it. It is recommended to just delete the warrior image and import the ova again. Testing shows that such a reimport works in the majority of cases.<br />
<br />
=== Why is the default project not working? / Why is a manual project not in the Warrior yet? ===<br />
<br />
Sorry. Sometimes the administrators are too busy...<br />
<br />
=== Where can I file a bug or a feature request? ===<br />
<br />
If the issue is related to the warrior's web interface or the library that grab scripts are using, see [https://github.com/ArchiveTeam/seesaw-kit/issues seesaw-kit issues]. Other issues should be filed into their own [[Dev/Source_Code|repositories]].<br />
<br />
=== I still have a question! ===<br />
<br />
Talk to us on [[IRC]]. Use [irc://irc.efnet.org/warrior #warrior] for specific warrior questions or [irc://irc.efnet.org/archiveteam #archiveteam] for general questions.<br />

Press ALT+F3 to switch to virtual console number 3. Use ALT+Left or ALT+Right to switch between virtual consoles. There are 6 virtual consoles in total. Consoles 1 and 2 are reserved for the warrior.<br />
<br />
=== The warrior seems to have too much overhead. I can't run a VM in a VPS! ===<br />
<br />
You don't need to run a virtual machine. If you are managing a VPS, it's likely you are comfortable with some Linux stuff. Projects can be run manually. Consult the project wiki page or the source code repository readme file.<br />
<br />
=== Why a virtual machine in the first place? ===<br />
<br />
The virtual machine is a quick, safe, and easy way for newcomers to help us out. It offers many features:<br />
<br />
* Graphical interface<br />
* Automatically selects which project is important to run<br />
* Self-updating software infrastructure<br />
* Allows for unattended use<br />
* In case of software faults, your machine is not ruined<br />
* Restarts itself in case of runaway programs<br />
* Runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux painlessly<br />
* Ensures consistency in the archived data regardless of your machine's quirks<br />
<br />
If you have suggestions for improving this system, please talk to us as described below.<br />
<br />
=== Can I use Docker instead? ===<br />
<br />
[https://github.com/ArchiveTeam/warrior-dockerfile Yes!]. Thanks to the initiative of an individual, the warrior infrastructure can run in a Docker instance.<br />
<br />
=== What about Windows Hyper-V? Can I use that instead? ===<br />
<br />
[http://jonimoose.net/2013/archiveteam-warrior-on-hyper-v/ Yes!]. Thanks to the initiative of an individual, a modified Warrior VM is all set to be imported into Windows Hyper-V Servers. <br />
<br />
=== I just imported the ova image and the warrior is stuck on "Preparing the data partition" ===<br />
<br />
This issue has cropped up before and we do not know what causes it. It is recommended to just delete the warrior image and import the ova again. Testing shows that such a reimport works in the majority of cases.<br />
<br />
=== Why is the default project not working? / Why is a manual project not in the Warrior yet? ===<br />
<br />
Sorry. Sometimes the administrators are too busy...<br />
<br />
=== Where can I file a bug or a feature request? ===<br />
<br />
If the issue is related to the warrior's web interface or the library that grab scripts are using, see [https://github.com/ArchiveTeam/seesaw-kit/issues seesaw-kit issues]. Other issues should be filed into their own [[Dev/Source_Code|repositories]].<br />
<br />
=== I still have a question! ===<br />
<br />
Talk to us on [[IRC]]. Use [irc://irc.efnet.org/warrior #warrior] for specific warrior questions or [irc://irc.efnet.org/archiveteam #archiveteam] for general questions.<br />

<br />
==New page setup==<br />
I was thinking of a new page setup for the [[Projects]] page. It would have a few parts: High Risk, Risk, Low Risk, Important.<br />
<br />
This is how the a part of the High Risk part of the page would look like:<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
! Website<br />
! Closing date<br />
! Project status<br />
! User<br />
! Archiving Status<br />
! Details<br />
! Archives<br />
|-<br />
| [[AOL Music]] || 2013-??-?? || Closing || || In progress... || || || <br />
|-<br />
| [[Fileplanet]] || 2013-??-?? || Closing || || Saved! || Saved only files 00000-229999 || [[Fileplanet#Status]]<br />
|-<br />
| [[Google Video (Archive)]] || 2011-04-29 || Closing || || In progress... || || <br />
|}<br />
I think you can more easily see what is being downloaded by this and who is downloading it.<br />
<br />
What do you think of it?<br />
<br />
[[User:Arkiver|Arkiver]] 08:04, 14 December 2013 (EST)<br />
<br />
: I like it! Thanks for doing this! It occurs to me that it might be nice to have a section for completed projects too, with an Internet Archive link for each thing (in addition to other mirrors). The [[Archives]] page seems to be incomplete, and a several of the links I've tried to download are dead. [[User:Kyan|Kyan]] 17:18, 14 December 2013 (EST)<br />

== Gopherspace archival ==<br />
<br />
As reported on [http://www.boingboing.net/2010/04/29/all-of-gopherspace-a.html boingboing] by Cory Doctorow, all of [[Gopher]]space - scraped in 2007 - needs an archive home. Anybody have 15GB of spare hosted-server space for this project?<br />
<br />
I do, please contact me at admin@emuwiki.com to tell me what to do. [[User:EmuWikiAdmin|EmuWikiAdmin]] 15:17, 2 May 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
They are added to iBiblio http://torrent.ibiblio.org/search.php?query=gopher&submit=search [[User:Emijrp|Emijrp]] 11:34, 2 November 2010 (UTC)<br />

It was added to Internet Archive by Jason too http://www.archive.org/details/2007-gopher-mirror [[User:Emijrp|Emijrp]] 19:23, 4 June 2011 (UTC)<br />

I'm moving this off of the front page, because I'm not sure where it belongs. I'll get back to this later, and probably make a nice clean entry for it.
