How to help
To run one or more FortuneCity downloaders, you'll need to be on Linux or a Linux-like OS.
Setting up:
git clone git://github.com/ArchiveTeam/fortunecity.git cd fortunecity ./get-wget-warc.sh
Check the output: does it say wget is successfully compiled? Great!
Now you can run a download client. Choose a nickname and run:
./seesaw.sh YOURNICK
The script should start downloading and uploading. If it works, feel free to run a few more!
Status
Archiving is well under way. Check the tracker for an up to date status report.
