Their site shutdown was scheduled a month ago. Today is the last day with 16 hours left.

I notice they list their videos by categories for their entire site. So all we need to do is archive each category page.

Do you know how to automate the download process? For example with this:

https://veoh.com/find/piano?randText=yx8LsgGDVq3d&page=299

Automating the linkgrabbing and download with title author and upload date, then move on to the next video until page 1 is exhausted then the next page. Rinse and repeat until last page is reached.

Then plug each link into yt-dl.

Sad to say that I only found about this yesterday...

Does every page that Archivteam saves get put up on the Wayback Machine or does that have to manually be done?

Is there anyone who could work on a ripper and archive as much as possible of the site? There's a real danger that they could be lost media given most of the manga is not available legally or even illegally anywhere else in digital form. There have been attempts at rippers but the site uses an image scramble to combat those, so maybe some kind of program that could unscramble images would help? They have a library of over 4000 manga so it would undoubtedly be a major task, but it's a race against time.

Like...this whole project has me so confused. How do we access the files that have been archived? I see large datasets hosted on archive.org, but how are we supposed to be able to search for anything, especially the archivebot-GO packs? Using archive.org's search function is practically awful as it is

I have some storage and compute laying around and would like to contribute some as a staging server, as my warriors often seem to be bottlenecked at this end.

The only guide i found is this: https://wiki.archiveteam.org/index.php/Dev/Staging and i think it could be written a bit more comprehensive. is there a more comprehensive way to do this?

For a long time now I've been trying to find a particular game:

Tl;dr It was called Starship and it was found via the Yahoo games list here:

Unfortunately the Archive link is broken and the game was gone before Internet Archive was a thing. I've looked pretty much everywhere, downloaded dozens of game collection ISOs hoping it was in one. no dice.

Since I'm back on the hunt I figured I should maybe ask here and see if anyone has a collection of particularly obscure games from the 90s that contains this game.

Has anyone archived the entirety of Manacled by Senlinyu? It's going to be removed from AO3 at the end of the year and it's not all on the Web Archive (which still isn't working properly). Also, there needs to be a full archive of TwoSetViolin videos since yesterday as they got privated a couple weeks ago.

I really hope this could get archived,as there is a lot of IT history that will go down the drain with the site.

I noticed on http://warrior.archiveteam.org/ that the link to download the appliance goes to https://warriorhq.archiveteam.org/downloads/warrior3/

However, it seems the latest version is actually at

https://warriorhq.archiveteam.org/downloads/warrior4/

The domain owner died some time ago.
I'll try to find a way to scrape them with Winhttrack, but backup would be ideal. These forums aren't too large so they should take not too long to properly archive (there are some threads with 100+ replies and multiple pages that might require some extra nudging by the archive utilities)

hiii, there's a domain includes an arabic archived forums divided into threads. they are all so imoprtant on the web, and may be this domain won't survive online. so If anyone could help me for archiving some of them with Archivebot and give me a link to a local copy to preserve , I'd be so grateful . I need them WARCS to be played with replayweb.page desktop app on windows . for now these are the threads I want , https://al-maktaba.org/book/31616

this is the thread number 3. also https://al-maktaba.org/book/31617 number 5 . they're most valuable ones. for a list to all the forum links:

Hey everyone.

So, a bit of a situation going on in a website I usually visit every now and then...

https://britishcomics.wordpress.com/

On October 24th, 2024, Rebellion, who holds rights to many comics, has sent the site creator a DMCA order demanding him to remove all their comics from his British Comics blog, but the site creator realised it was too much to delete, so he will shut down the blog this coming Friday, November 1st, 2024.

Is there a way to download EVERYTHING remaining on the site at once? Some files there are exclusively found there and I don’t want to have to download each file at a time as it would be too time consuming.

Thanks. :)

Hello there! So, I know Shane may be a bit of a touchy subject to do an archive preservation for, but growing up, like a lot of you, I actually used to enjoy his videos. Although they can easily be seen as offensive nowadays for obvious reasons, at the time, we didn't really know any better and thought his videos were hilarious. It was shock humor. He made jokes no one would ever dare make nowadays, again for COUNTLESS reasons. But it was a part of my childhood. I want to do my best to make an archive preservation for his work. From ShaneDawsonTV, his second channel (ShaneDawsonTV2, but now renamed to "Human Emoji" a placeholder for project he was gonna do but cancelled), Shane (his iPhone vlog channel before going through multiple different phases until it became what it is today), and his ShaneGlossin channel (now named Shane2), I grew up watching everything. All except the podcast series, which I'm also working on archiving since there was an audio version and a video version made exclusively for Fullscreen.

If you happened to have any videos saved from his channel, any help is always deeply appreciated! There's a lot of content that was either deleted or privated due to controversies, so hopefully there was dedicated fans out there like me who were lucky enough to save a good portion of stuff.

I can't find the original copy, does anyone have it? It's my school assignment t-t

As the title says, Veoh is shutting down soon per an announcement at the top of the webpage. https://www.veoh.com/ You may want to save videos from there before they are gone.

Is it cause of my settings? It happened with nhentai, url team 2, blogger and telegram. It has just kept retrying endlessly since last week and I haven't seen it download much since. I closed it and restarted, and messed around with the number of concurrent items and resync threads but it has same issue even on 1

Hi, is there a archive of vampirefreaks profiles? I'm looking for a profile in particular but I have no idea of where to look.

Has anyone tried to backup all stuff from the Files section of AusGamers?

Have you tried archiving your own data and training AI on it?

I have a lot of data (texts, photos, videos) that I can't control because I find them on my drives, on my social media channels, etc. I could collect it all in one place by selecting the content that I consider valuable, but sorting it out by people who were there, events and places is a gigantic task that will take at least 40 hours.

Have you tried using AI in such tasks?

What I would like to do:

• arrange the photos
• download my data from Google and Facebook and, based on that, draw ideas and conclusions from the conversations I had
• arrange the texts I had according to my catalogues.

I wanna look for videos uploaded by a channel called "Cojum Dip" on Google Video and Yahoo Vídeo but I don't know where I can easily search for which archive has it

Can anybody help me??

I've been trying to find a youtube video now set to private that I've watched a few months ago.

Unfortunately I can't find it on filmot because it's been almost a year since filmot isn't grabbing new videos released on that channel.

This video definitely has subtitles and I was hoping to at least get them if the video content is now gone forever.

Does anyone know if there are any other places that might still have this video?

Thank you in advance!

this would be really convenient. I turn it on everytime I get on the computer
