Organization: Archive Team

Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.

History is littered with hundreds of conflicts over the future of a community, group, location or business that were "resolved" when one of the parties stepped ahead and destroyed what was there. With the original point of contention destroyed, the debates would fall to the wayside. Archive Team believes that by duplicated condemned data, the conversation and debate can continue, as well as the richness and insight gained by keeping the materials. Our projects have ranged in size from a single volunteer downloading the data to a small-but-critical site, to over 100 volunteers stepping forward to acquire terabytes of user-created data to save for future generations.

The main site for Archive Team is at archiveteam.org and contains up to the date information on various projects, manifestos, plans and walkthroughs.

This collection contains the output of many Archive Team projects, both ongoing and completed. Thanks to the generous providing of disk space by the Internet Archive, multi-terabyte datasets can be made available, as well as in use by the Wayback Machine, providing a path back to lost websites and work.

Our collection has grown to the point of having sub-collections for the type of data we acquire. If you are seeking to browse the contents of these collections, the Wayback Machine is the best first stop. Otherwise, you are free to dig into the stacks to see what you may find.

The Archive Team Panic Downloads are full pulldowns of currently extant websites, meant to serve as emergency backups for needed sites that are in danger of closing, or which will be missed dearly if suddenly lost due to hard drive crashes or server failures.

Collection: ArchiveBot: The Archive Team Crowdsourced Crawler

ArchiveBot is an IRC bot designed to automate the archival of smaller websites (e.g. up to a few hundred thousand URLs). You give it a URL to start at, and it grabs all content under that URL, records it in a WARC, and then uploads that WARC to ArchiveTeam servers for eventual injection into the Internet Archive (or other archive sites).

To use ArchiveBot, drop by #archivebot on EFNet. To interact with ArchiveBot, you issue commands by typing it into the channel. Note you will need channel operator permissions in order to issue archiving jobs. The dashboard shows the sites being downloaded currently.

There is a dashboard running for the archivebot process at http://www.archivebot.com.

Maguire Crushes Allen To Reach Final

Saturday 7 Dec 2019 09:55PM

Stephen Maguire white-washed Mark Allen 6-0 with what he described as an “unbelievable performance” to reach the final of the Betway UK Championship.

The 38-year-old Glaswegian will face Ding Junhui in Sunday’s best-of-19 frame final, with the trophy and top prize of £200,000 up for grabs.

Maguire needed just 89 minutes to dismiss Allen in a match which most expected to be a closely-fought battle. Breaks of 95, 129, 72, 50 and 100 helped him to an emphatic win with a near-flawless display.

Having won this title back in 2004, he is aiming to become the tenth player to win the UK Championship on multiple occasions. His only other Triple Crown final came at the 2007 UK Championship when he lost to Ronnie O’Sullivan.

Maguire is aiming for his sixth ranking title and first since the 2013 Welsh Open. He has won two invitation events already this season – partnering John Higgins to World Cup glory for Scotland, and beating Higgins in the final of the Six Red World Championship.

Just six weeks ago, Maguire fractured his ankle while travelling to the World Open in China, and must have feared he would need a spell on the sidelines to recover. He continues to walk with a slight limp, but his game is razor sharp.

“That was an unbelievable performance, I felt strong from the start,” said Maguire tonight. “I felt as if I was going to pot everything. The ones I went for all went in.

“I want the title badly. I’ll enjoy it if I settle down and get involved in the game. I know how it is out there in a final. It’s all about getting off to a good start. These big finals don’t come by that often. I’m pushing 40 now so I might not have that long left.

“It would be special. My son keeps asking me when I’m going to win a tournament. He thinks it’s quite easy! I’d love to bring a trophy back to show the family.

“Ding is different class. I’ve got a lot of respect for him and I love the way he plays. I’ve got my work cut out. I’m going to attack and open the reds up. If he scores better than me then he’ll win but if the reds are there I’ll fancy potting them.”
