How can I help?
Start up a Warrior. Justin.tv is the default project, so it should start up automatically.
Alternatively, the scripts can be run manually. The instructions to do so are in the source code repo.
Finally, please join us on IRC at #justouttv to report errors, talk about the project, etc.
Archives
Archives in WARC format are uploaded to the Internet Archive justintv collection. The collection contains ~117600 videos (~9900 GB).
Due to the nature of the Justin.tv archives, not all videos could be stored in the Internet Archive due to the immense size. The Justin.tv video archives are about 1 PB. Unfortunately, there is no practical way to determine which videos are "important".
Videos with 10 or more views were selected (scraped through their search function or by a CSV manifest provided by Justin.tv staff) for archiving by the Warrior. Some videos existed on lost/mismanaged Justin.tv servers (media6.justin.tv, media18.justin.tv, media27.justin.tv) and staff are unable to recover them.
There is a work-in-progress search available at http://archive.fart.website/archiveteam/justintv-index/html/
