| == How can I help? ==
| |
| At this time no script has been completed, For now come into the IRC channel and be the first to know how you can get involved!
| |
| === Running a Warrior ===
| |
| | |
| You can start up a [[Warrior]] and there select ''ArchiveTeam's Choice'' for now, Until the scripts are written (this is going to be our highest priority so you will run them as soon as they are released!).<!-- (If you don't really care what you are archiving, select ''ArchiveTeam's Choice'' instead, as at some points ArchiveTeam may prioritize 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 [https://github.com/ArchiveTeam/ftp-gov-grab github.com/ArchiveTeam/ftp-gov-grab].

| ! Some additional information
| |
| |-
| |
| | Don't forget to replace YOURNICKHERE with your nickname.
| |
| | |
| The number after <code>--concurrent</code> 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: <code>touch STOP</code>). 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| If you see "Project code is out of date", kill the script, go to its folder (<code>cd ftp-gov-grab</code>) and issue <code><nowiki>git pull https://github.com/ArchiveTeam/</nowiki>ftp-gov-grab</code>. 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
