What are /r/Archiveteam's favorite Products & Services?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

I just discovered Archivebox today, https://archivebox.io/

From what I understand it looks like a self hosted webserver, that will auto archive websites that are listed in a variety of services. RSS, XML, JSON, brower history or bookmarks, etc..

Again I just found it today, so I have no idea how well it does it job. Here is there demo site https://archive.sweeting.me/

Just looking at a few example pages, it looks like each page has a photo taken, a PDF print out, and an HTML version of the page. So you will hopefully get at least 1 readable copy of the page.

I just run the script in the same folder that the links.txt is located in? I have a symetrical 200/200 connection so I should be able to download all of it by tonight...waiting for the links.7z to download as it is a slow connection to that anonfiles.com site.

I'd love to help, but I'm not near a computer for a few days.

I think you should change the name of the post (or repost it) to something like "Pogo deleting FLASH/JAVA games starting June 4th - A plea for help", so that people know how time limited this is.

Also, here's the page about it on Flashpoint: https://bluemaxima.org/flashpoint/datahub/Help_Wanted_List

I'm confused -- it's moving, not disappearing. Are the forum maintainers worried they're going to lose their backups?

You can always try with Ruffle.

Alternatively I highly suggest manually curating those .swf files for the Flashpoint Project, where they will then be archived and also be available to others.

The specific flash files can often be found by adding a "/*" to the end of the URL you're looking for in the Wayback Machine and from there filtering for .swf files.

A couple of these games are archived in Flashpoint (large page, wait for it). Once you have a .swf file, you can use the standalone flash player program or https://ruffle.rs

I've had a look, and although you could get around the download limits using tor or a VPN, you couldn't script a mass download because Florenfile gets you to complete a captcha. If anyone knows a way round this, let me know.

With that in mind, if you want to have a go at downloading them one at a time (without an account), read here: https://stem.torproject.org/faq.html#how-do-i-request-a-new-identity-from-tor and/or here: https://protonvpn.com/

Also, I spotted that some of the download links are for premium members only, so you'd need an account for that.

make acct here, https://www.pcloud.com/ for 10gb free (remote upload works, too) then make https://www.multcloud.com and move all Flickr files to pcloud or a different service. (mMega, Drive, Dropbox, etc)

Ok, so everything downloaded successfully, but IA keeps detecting a virus in one of the files (10853_file_f90f10f27b64bdb5827f069ec1d46cac.exe - analysis @ https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/4b9c642e42b405eb5ec6af776c1a1fb432a8223813fa7c1763a03023dbc17e26/analysis/1288163813/) so it darkens the whole item. Everything is available here while I work on getting stuff sorted with IA: https://www.amazon.com/clouddrive/share/mnte3oghCS3MaMFNhCYXhWXFOUUKNZdojHmPnhYdL6z.

Adding to eythians comment, the game itself uses Android 4.0 and up.

So I don't know what max android it may support is, but at least you know what to look for when emulating.

If your family still happens to have the tape there are different devices that would allow you to digitize the tape.

I normally wouldn't recommend the cheaper devices since they can be a little hit or miss with how they work. However if you only plan to archive a tape or two a device like this should do the trick without investing to much.

If you do happen to still have the tape(s) and end up getting a capture device please archive all of what is ever on them. There are always people looking for more 90s commercials and other things that aired on TV back then.

Seems possible to me. One could create code that runs in your browser as part of a website, downloads a file in parallel, into an in-memory blob, then offers to save it to disk.

That said: if OP can't install any software, perhaps a portable download manager would work? https://portableapps.com/apps/internet/uget-portable

Note that there is no search (as far as I know) and it's also collecting Wayback Machine accesses, so you'll have to scroll down a lot to find the ones for the track you're interested in.

Archive team collected above 1TB of data. I do my part there too!

I did collected a bit too. The key is to use one IP per connection. I have plenty of VPN providers at my hand, including big ones like NordVPN. It helps a lot.

https://github.com/ArchiveTeam/grab-site is a very very easy way, you can even put the URLs in a file and pass it into grab-site (with the -i option). It doesn't run JavaScript unfortunately so if the website needs JS it won't do a complete backup (it'll back up the javascript, but not the websites that the JavaScript downloads). It saves into WARC which can be injested into the WBM or loaded at replayweb.page

I never used this script to download a subreddit, but it worked for other types of websites and there is even a chapter for downloading subreddits in the documentation.

Thanks for your support, I managed to run scripts with SingleFile.

I installed SingleFile manually as described here. (I was using Docker previously)

single-file --browser-executable-path=/usr/bin/google-chrome-stable --browser-script=/path/to/scripts.js 'https://www.google.com' google.html

> PIA is a terrible VPN. Use PRQ or iPredator.

What are your reasons?

>After a while your assigned tasks are released and re-assigned to someone else.

Why would my assigned tasks not simply be re-accepted by myself?

>Did you read this really long FAQ?

Yes, I even referenced it in the OP. It doesn't contain answers to these questions
