This is a great opportunity to get a few testers/users, if you'd like to continue developing it. I do however understand that this can be quite overwhelming - so I'd recommend you'd only take in people manually (ie. no automatic signup - th

I was in the SimCity Beta1 and tested it thoroughly in the very limited time that was given. It was very hard to test different concepts and parts of the game - none the less, a lot of bugs and a lot of serious issues were found. I reported

"but works hard for a living to make his both ends meet." I know it's harsh of me to say "It sure doesn't look like a person working hard to make ends meet, if he's just spamming/spraying and praying". But then again I have a hard time just

Thanks a lot for writing that up. I'll be sure to add it to the FAQ/wiki on http://www.archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Posterous

How are we to know what's important and not? Surely, there's interesting content available at Posterous. Just to mention an example, CloudFlare's blog is hosted there. Sure, there's plenty of spam accounts and crappy content - but that migh

Thanks for the interested! You're of course very welcome to help out with that. I just wanted to let you know that the source for it, is available at https://github.com/ArchiveTeam/universal-tracker You're very welcome to join up our IRC

The HTTP 502 Bad Gateway errors are unfortunally due to load over at Posterous. We do take those in consideration and back off exponentially until we hit 32 seconds - but continue retrying for specific set of times. You're very welcome to j

We've currently saved about 2.1TB in total. I can assure you that you will not use up very much space nor bandwidth :-) It's mostly text and all. Feel free to stop by the project IRC Channel which is #preposterus on EFNet for specific quest

That 'crummy broadband' is very much welcome, and so are you. In this effort, bandwidth in itself is not that important. Feel free to read some of my other posts in this thread regarding bandwidth and/or come join us at IRC (#preposterus at

Most likely, yes. They probably have most of Posterous cached already. It's however very unlikely that they'd just release that data. They probably have their own archive format and things as well..

Thanks for doing so. I'll be sure to include your thoughts from your post (re our goals) in our FAQ by the way.

Please don't link to the leaderboard (the link in parent post), it is a bit loaded and fragile. That is used for all the ArchiveTeam Warriors. Also, unfortunally - those numbers aren't totally up to scratch. Please hang on, we'll have a FAQ

We're rate limiting how many items/users gets handed out. Because Posterous is very fragile, and we're blowing away their front end caches - which they rely on heavily. Because of this, we practically hit the back end every time (as well as

Yes, and in my mind, it's a bit unfortunate to have it all centralized to a few major portals. Especially since nothing lasts forever, like we clearly see here. When a giant falls..

In my opinion, this is a staff acquisition. Buy a company to get the staff free and on board, ditch the product/project. Besides, I think Posterous would be a good complement to 140 char-twitter. I don't even consider them as competition to

There actually is an EC2 AMI available. I won't mention it here though. I'd rather like that you join us up on #preposterus on EFnet over ol' school IRC. I'm using caution because we don't want to sink Posterous, since it's a very fragile b

Also, please use a sensible format if you're crawling/archiving this. We're using WARC (Web Archive) which is an official ISO File Format standard - which the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine can use. It's also a pretty good and nice form

This isn't resurrecting a dead service nor is it about that. This is archiving it and making the previously public data stay public. Why would someone do that? Well, a lot of people have poured their hearts out and made content that lives o

Everything does however count. And if you run a single instance on your home/work connection - that'll be a little. Some is better than none :-)

We've had a few guys using Amazon Web Services and continously rotate IP's/set up new instances - unfortunally, the last time we went too 'hard' on them - effectively making Posterous unavailable. We're thinking about this right now. Feel f

Bandwidth in itself is not per say needed, in this project. IP's however are very useful. Feel free to stop by our project IRC channel at #preposterus (Note: It's not spelled pre-posterous) or our main channel at #archiveteam on EFNet

by ersii 14y ago
The problem is that Posterous is hard to crawl. For one; They'll continously and automatedly ban your IPs, even if you rotate over a lot of them. Two: Posterous can't take all of the requests. We've (ArchiveTeam) unfortunally made Posterous

Because, according to ICANN rules - you may lose the right to your domain if the registrant information is falsified. That's why they "spam" you once a year, reminding you to keep the registrant information up to date. I have not heard of a

In BFS (Be(OS?) File System) you can add any kind of attribute to a file, for what I know. Unfortunally, this isn't very helpful - since you need to run either BeOS or Haiku. If I'm not mistaken, there's a FUSE port of BFS to Linux as well.

I assume the parent post does - and so do I, in at least this particular case. Seeing how closly knit Facebook and Spotify are. There's not just a shared investor group - there's also a partnership between the two companies. And it's pretty
