I'm not meaning to offend these people or anyone else. I even stated in my comment that it happens to the best of us. It's just that if you call yourself the ArchiveTeam and come out guns a-blazin' like you're the savior of all that is data you should at least make sure you have the basics covered. I think it's a good thing what they're doing. I just find the attitude in their plea for assistance crude.

- coderdude 16y agoArchiving data from the Web is a cool thing -- it would be fun to participate. I'm personally a fan of textfiles.com. They have some text files I wrote back in '97 or '98 still stored away somewhere. One thing I like about the ArchiveTeam's wiki are these pages: http://www.archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Deathwatch http://www.archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Deathwatch http://www.archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Fire_Drill http://www.archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Fire_Drill
- soult 16y agoThe problem is that we mostly make stuff up as we go. With geocities, it was basically wget + rsync. With Yahoo Video it is wget + youtube-dl. Not many of us are programmers and at first there was nobody around who was able to fix the UTF-8 problem. We decided to start anyways, knowing that it would be easy to locate all videos that failed and download them later. It's better to get 95% than nothing at all.
