== How to help ==
== '''MOTHERFUCKER ! ! !''' ==


To run one or more FortuneCity downloaders, you'll need to be on Linux or a Linux-like OS.
== '''MOTHERFUCKER ! ! !''' ==


Setting up:
== '''MOTHERFUCKER ! ! !''' ==
<pre>
git clone git://github.com/ArchiveTeam/fortunecity.git
cd fortunecity
./get-wget-warc.sh
</pre>
 
Check the output: does it say wget is successfully compiled? Great!
 
Now you can run a download client. Choose a nickname and run:
<pre>
./seesaw.sh YOURNICK
</pre>
 
The script should start downloading and uploading. If it works, feel free to run a few more!
 
<b>Please do not run more than 10 downloaders.</b> It won't work. We need many individuals making small contributions.
 
If you want to stop, you can just kill the scripts. To stop gracefully,
<pre>
touch STOP
</pre>
and the script will stop after the current user.
 
There is no need to run upload-finished.sh. seesaw.sh will automatically upload your finished users to us.

MOTHERFUCKER ! ! !

Common Problems

configure: error: --with-ssl was given, but GNUTLS is not available.

You don't have the proper headers available to be able to compile wget-warc. It should be fairly easy to fix though. If you're using a Debian or Ubuntu-based Linux distribution:

   apt-get install libgnutls-dev

If you're using a Fedora distribution:

   yum install gnutls-devel

If you're using FreeBSD :

   cd /usr/ports/security/gnutls/
   make all install clean

If you're using something else you'll just have to poke around in the documentation and figure it out :)

Status

Archiving is well under way. Check the tracker for an up to date status report.
