<div>==What is the Archive Team Warrior?==<br />
<br />

<br />
The Archive Team Warrior is a virtual archiving appliance. You can run it to help with the ArchiveTeam archiving efforts. It will download sites and upload them to our archive — and it’s really easy to do!<br />
<br />
The warrior is a virtual machine, so there is no risk to your computer. The warrior will only use your bandwidth and some of your disk space. It will get tasks from and report progress to the [[Tracker]].<br />
<br />
== Basic usage ==<br />
<br />
The warrior runs on Windows, OS X and Linux using a virtual machine. You'll need one of:<br />
<br />
* [https://www.virtualbox.org/ VirtualBox] (recommended)<br />
* [https://www.vmware.com/products/player/ VMware workstation/player] (free-gratis for personal use)<br />
* [[#Alternative virtual machines|See below for alternative virtual machines]]<br />
<br />
=== Quick start instructions for VirtualBox ===<br />
<br />
# Download the [http://archive.org/download/archiveteam-warrior/archiveteam-warrior-v2-20121008.ova appliance] (174MB).<br />
# Launch VirtualBox<br />
# In VirtualBox, click File > Import Appliance and open the file.<br />
# Start the virtual machine.<br />
#* It will fetch the latest updates and will eventually tell you to start your web browser.<br />
# Using your regular web browser, visit http://localhost:8001/<br />
# On the left, click "Your settings".<br />
# Choose a username - we'll show your progress on the [[tracker|leaderboard]].<br />
# On the left, click "Available projects" tab and pick a project to work on.<br />
#* Even better: select "ArchiveTeam's Choice" to let your warrior work on the most urgent project.<br />
<br />
<br />
__TOC__<br />
<br />
== Alternative virtual machines ==<br />
<br />
Thanks to user-effort, there are alternatives:<br />
<br />
* [https://www.docker.io/ Docker] (Linux)<br />
** ([https://github.com/ArchiveTeam/warrior-dockerfile modified dockerfile])<br />
** ([https://registry.hub.docker.com/u/infrequent/at-as-dockerfile modified dockerfile - for manual script execution])<br />
<br />
* [https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/server-cloud/solutions/virtualization.aspx Hyper-V] (Windows 8 Professional)<br />
** ([http://jonimoose.net/2013/archiveteam-warrior-on-hyper-v/ Hyper-V virtual machine])<br />
<br />
Please note that these alternatives are not in widespread use by our warriors, so we may not be able to help with either issues or advanced usage.<br />
<br />
==Warrior FAQ==<br />
<br />
=== Can I use whatever internet access for the warrior? ===<br />
<br />
No. We need "clean" connections. Please ensure the following:<br />
<br />
* No OpenDNS. No ISP DNS that redirects to a search page. Use non-captive DNS servers.<br />
* No ISP connections that inject advertisements into web pages.<br />
* No proxies. Proxies can return bad data. The original HTTP headers and IP address is needed for the WARC file.<br />
* No content-filtering firewalls.<br />
* No censorship. If you believe your country implements censorship, do not run a warrior. <br />
* No Tor. The server may return an error page instead of content if they ban exit nodes.<br />
* No free wifi cafe. Archiving your cafe's wifi service agreement repeatedly is not helpful.<br />
* We prefer connections from many public IP addresses if possible. (For example, if your apartment building uses a single IP address, we don't want your apartment banned.)<br />
<br />
=== Why am I seeing a message that no item was received? ===<br />
<br />
It means that there is no work available. This happens for several reasons:<br />
<br />
* There project has just finished and someone is inspecting the work done. If a problem is discovered, items may be re-queued and more work is available.<br />
* You have checked out / claimed too many items. Reduce your concurrency and let others do some of the work too.<br />
* In a rare case, you have been banned by a tracker administrator because you were requesting too much work, you were tampering with the scripts, a malfunction has occurred, or your internet connection is "unclean".<br />
<br />
=== Why am I seeing a message about rate limiting? ===<br />
<br />
Keep in mind that although downloading the internet for digital preservation and fun are the primary goals of all Archive Team activities, serious stress on the target's server may occur. The rate limit is imposed by a [[Tracker#People|tracker administrator]] and should not be subverted.<br />
<br />
(In other words, we don't want to DDoS the servers.)<br />
<br />
=== Why am I seeing a message about code being out of date? ===<br />
<br />
The warrior will update its code every hour. If you are impatient, please restart the warrior and it will download the latest code and resume work.<br />
<br />
===Help! The warrior is eating all my bandwidth!===<br />
<br />
You can limit the warrior's bandwidth quite easily for VirtualBox as long as you are running a relatively recent version. The option is not offered with a GUI however.<br />
<br />
The command <pre>VBoxManage bandwidthctl archiveteam-warrior-2 add limit --type network --limit 3m</pre> will limit the warrior instance called archiveteam-warrior-2 (the default name of the warrior vm currently) to 3Mb/s. Adjust as needed.<br />
(limit units: k=kilobit, m=megabit, g=gigabit, K=kilobyte, M=megabyte, G=gigabyte)<br />
<br />
<br />
In the latest version of VirtualBox on Windows, the syntax appears to have changed. The correct command now seems to be:<br />
<br />
<pre>VBoxManage bandwidthctl archiveteam-warrior-2 add netlimit --type network --limit 3</pre><br />
<br />
For more info, consult the [http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch06.html#network_bandwidth_limit VirtualBox manual (Chapter 6, Section 9)].<br />
<br />
===NAT sucks! I want directly-bridged networking!===<br />
<br />
Simples! (If you're running linux, that is.)<br />
<br />
<pre>VBoxManage modifyvm "archiveteam-warrior-2" --nic1 bridged</pre><br />
<br />
<pre>VBoxManage modifyvm "archiveteam-warrior-2" --bridgeadapter1 eth0</pre><br />
<br />
(We presume you want to bind to <code>eth0</code>. Adjust as required. :))<br />
<br />
=== I turned my warrior VM appliance off. Will those tasks be lost? ===<br />
<br />
If you've killed your warrior VM instances, then the work your warrior did has been lost, however the tasks will be returned to the pool after a period of time. If you want, you can alert the admins via IRC of what's happened, and they can clear the claims your username may have made. However, this isn't very important on most projects.<br />
<br />
=== I closed my browser or tab with the warrior's web interface. Will those tasks be lost? ===<br />
<br />
No, the web browser interface just provides, well, a user interface to the warrior. As long as the VM is not stopped, it will continue normally.<br />
<br />
=== I need to disconnect my internet / reboot my PC, but I don't want to lose work. ===<br />
<br />
If you pause/suspend the warrior instance, most projects will allow resuming of work in progress when you unsuspend the warrior instance.<br />
<br />
If you decided to use the suspend feature in VirtualBox, please note that if you keep it suspended for too long (more than a few hours), the admins will assume that the item is lost and be re-queued. Using the suspend feature so that you can reboot your computer is perfectly fine.<br />
<br />
=== I told the warrior to shutdown from the interface but nothing has changed! What gives? ===<br />
<br />
The warrior will attempt to finish the current running tasks before shutting down. If you need to shut down right away, go ahead. Your progress will be lost, however the jobs will eventually cycle out to another user.<br />
<br />
=== How much disk space will the warrior use? ===<br />
<br />
Short answer: it depends on the project.<br />
<br />
Long answer: because the way each project defines an item differently, the warrior may be downloading a small file or downloading a whole subsection of a website. The virtual machine is configured by default to use 60GB as an absolute maximum. Any unused virtual machine disk space is not used on the host computer. You may, however, run the virtual machine on less than 60GB if you like to live dangerously. We're downloading the internet after all!<br />
<br />
=== The secondary disk is using up space even though it's not running a project. ===<br />
<br />
Virtual machine disk images do not behave like a regular file. There are several ways to reclaim space:<br />
<br />
* Delete the second disk and put back an empty disk. The warrior should reformat the second disk.<br />
* Delete the entire warrior application and re-import it.<br />
* Use the [http://intgat.tigress.co.uk/rmy/uml/index.html zerofree] program and then clone the disk image. Reattach the cloned disk image.<br />
<br />
=== I can't connect to localhost. ===<br />
<br />
The application includes a configuration to set up port forwarding to the guest machine on port 8001 so you can access the interface through your web browser. If this does not happen, you may need to double check your machine's network settings.<br />
<br />
=== The warrior can't connect to the internet. ===<br />
<br />
It may be possible that the virtual machine has picked up the address of the local DNS cache on your computer which the virtual machine does not have access to. <br />
<br />
If you experience this on VirtualBox, see [http://askubuntu.com/questions/204953/virtualbox-dns-stopped-working-on-upgrade-to-12-10 this question and answer].<br />
<br />
=== I'm looking at the text scrolling by and I notice some errors. rsync is not working. ===<br />
<br />
Uh-oh! Something is not right. Notify us immediately in the appropriate [[IRC]] channel.<br />
<br />
=== The item I'm working on is downloading thousands of URLs and it's taking hours. ===<br />
<br />
See the above question and reboot the warrior as appropriate.<br />
<br />
=== I'm looking at the leaderboard. What's that icon beside the username? ===<br />
<br />
That's just the warrior logo: [[File:Archive_team.png|42px]] (click on the image for a larger version). It means that that person is using the warrior. Those without the icon are running the scripts manually.<br />
<br />
=== What's that guy doing in the logo? ===<br />
<br />
The place is on fire! But don't worry, he safely escaped with the rescued data in his arms.<br />
<br />
=== I want to log in to the virtual machine. How do I do this? ===<br />
<br />
Unless you know what you are doing, you should not need to do this. But if you want to, the username is <code>root</code> and the password is <code>archiveteam</code>. Then, you can execute <code>sudo -u warrior -i</code> to log in as the warrior user. <br />
<br />
Press ALT+F3 to switch to virtual console number 3. Use ALT+Left or ALT+Right to switch between virtual consoles. There are 6 virtual consoles in total. Consoles 1 and 2 are reserved for the warrior.<br />
<br />
=== Can I run multiple virtual machines at the same time? ===<br />
<br />
Yes, but you'll need to adjust the networking settings.<br />
<br />
On the machine, open up Settings → Network → Adapter 1 → Port Fowarding. You need to adjust the Host Port. For example, ensure your table looks like TCP | 127.0.0.1 | 8123 | | 8001. In this example, you can then visit http://localhost:8123/ as it maps port 8123 in your browser to port 8001 which the warrior uses.<br />
<br />
=== The warrior seems to have too much overhead. I can't run a VM in a VPS! ===<br />
<br />
You don't need to run a virtual machine.<br />
<br />
An option is running Docker containers, based on LXC the overhead is far less than running a full VM on a VPS, it should be noted if you plan on running the ([https://github.com/ArchiveTeam/warrior-dockerfile warrior-dockerfile]) to publish the port to allow access to the web interface.<br />
<pre> docker run -d -p 8001:8001 archiveteam/warrior-dockerfile </pre><br />
<br />
(Above is assumed direct mapping VPS port to container port so if you wanted say <code>port 38001</code> it would be <code>docker run -d -p 38001:8001 archiveteam/warrior-dockerfile </code> Adjust as required. :P)<br />
<br />
<br />
If you are managing a VPS, it's likely you are comfortable with some Linux stuff. '''Projects can be run manually.''' Consult the project wiki page or the source code repository readme file.<br />
<br />
(Note that multiple projects can be also run in isolated environments(containers) for rapid deployment using: ([https://registry.hub.docker.com/u/infrequent/at-as-dockerfile at-as-dockerfile]))<br />
<br />
=== Why a virtual machine in the first place? ===<br />
<br />
The virtual machine is a quick, safe, and easy way for newcomers to help us out. It offers many features:<br />
<br />
* Graphical interface<br />
* Automatically selects which project is important to run<br />
* Self-updating software infrastructure<br />
* Allows for unattended use<br />
* In case of software faults, your machine is not ruined<br />
* Restarts itself in case of runaway programs<br />
* Runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux painlessly<br />
* Ensures consistency in the archived data regardless of your machine's quirks<br />
<br />
If you have suggestions for improving this system, please talk to us as described below.<br />
<br />
=== I'm running the scripts manually in a VPS but it says the code is out of date a while later ===<br />
<br />
It happens when a bug in the scripts is discovered. Bugs are unavoidable especially when the server is out of our control.<br />
<br />
Try the <code>--auto-update</code> option available in Seesaw version 0.8. However, please be aware that you are now executing code automatically. Be sure to run the scripts in a separate user account for safety.<br />
<br />
=== I just imported the ova image and the warrior is stuck on "Preparing the data partition" ===<br />
<br />
This issue has cropped up before and we do not know what causes it. It is recommended to just delete the warrior image and import the ova again. Testing shows that such a reimport works in the majority of cases.<br />
<br />
=== Why is the default project not working? / Why is a manual project not in the Warrior yet? ===<br />
<br />
Sorry. Sometimes the administrators are too busy...<br />
<br />
=== Why are there no projects? ===<br />
<br />
If there are no projects showing, you can help us write one. No projects does ''not'' mean there is nothing left to archive!<br />
<br />
=== The instructions to run the software/scripts are awful and they are difficult to set up. ===<br />
<br />
Well, excuuuuse me, princess!<br />
<br />
We're not a professional support team so help us help you help us all. See below for bug reports, suggestions, or contribute writing code.<br />
<br />
=== Where can I file a bug, suggestion, or a feature request? ===<br />
<br />
If the issue is related to the warrior's web interface or the library that grab scripts are using, see [https://github.com/ArchiveTeam/seesaw-kit/issues seesaw-kit issues]. Other issues should be filed into their own [[Dev/Source_Code|repositories]].<br />
<br />
=== I'd like to help write code. Where can I find more info? ===<br />
<br />
Check out the [[Dev]] documentation for details on the infrastructure and details of the source code layout.<br />
<br />
=== I still have a question! ===<br />
<br />

<br />
The Archive Team Warrior is a virtual archiving appliance. You can run it to help with the ArchiveTeam archiving efforts. It will download sites and upload them to our archive — and it’s really easy to do!<br />
<br />
The warrior is a virtual machine, so there is no risk to your computer. The warrior will only use your bandwidth and some of your disk space. It will get tasks from and report progress to the [[Tracker]].<br />
<br />
== Basic usage ==<br />
<br />
The warrior runs on Windows, OS X and Linux using a virtual machine. You'll need one of:<br />
<br />
* [https://www.virtualbox.org/ VirtualBox] (recommended)<br />
* [https://www.vmware.com/products/player/ VMware workstation/player] (free-gratis for personal use)<br />
* [[#Alternative virtual machines|See below for alternative virtual machines]]<br />
<br />
=== Quick start instructions for VirtualBox ===<br />
<br />
# Download the [http://archive.org/download/archiveteam-warrior/archiveteam-warrior-v2-20121008.ova appliance] (174MB).<br />
# Launch VirtualBox<br />
# In VirtualBox, click File > Import Appliance and open the file.<br />
# Start the virtual machine.<br />
#* It will fetch the latest updates and will eventually tell you to start your web browser.<br />
# Using your regular web browser, visit http://localhost:8001/<br />
# On the left, click "Your settings".<br />
# Choose a username - we'll show your progress on the [[tracker|leaderboard]].<br />
# On the left, click "Available projects" tab and pick a project to work on.<br />
#* Even better: select "ArchiveTeam's Choice" to let your warrior work on the most urgent project.<br />
<br />
<br />
__TOC__<br />
<br />
== Alternative virtual machines ==<br />
<br />
Thanks to user-effort, there are alternatives:<br />
<br />
* [https://www.docker.io/ Docker] (Linux)<br />
** ([https://github.com/ArchiveTeam/warrior-dockerfile modified dockerfile])<br />
** ([https://registry.hub.docker.com/u/infrequent/at-as-dockerfile modified dockerfile - for manual script execution])<br />
<br />
* [https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/server-cloud/solutions/virtualization.aspx Hyper-V] (Windows 8 Professional)<br />
** ([http://jonimoose.net/2013/archiveteam-warrior-on-hyper-v/ Hyper-V virtual machine])<br />
<br />
Please note that these alternatives are not in widespread use by our warriors, so we may not be able to help with either issues or advanced usage.<br />
<br />
==Warrior FAQ==<br />
<br />
=== Can I use whatever internet access for the warrior? ===<br />
<br />
No. We need "clean" connections. Please ensure the following:<br />
<br />
* No OpenDNS. No ISP DNS that redirects to a search page. Use non-captive DNS servers.<br />
* No ISP connections that inject advertisements into web pages.<br />
* No proxies. Proxies can return bad data. The original HTTP headers and IP address is needed for the WARC file.<br />
* No content-filtering firewalls.<br />
* No censorship. If you believe your country implements censorship, do not run a warrior. <br />
* No Tor. The server may return an error page instead of content if they ban exit nodes.<br />
* No free wifi cafe. Archiving your cafe's wifi service agreement repeatedly is not helpful.<br />
* We prefer connections from many public IP addresses if possible. (For example, if your apartment building uses a single IP address, we don't want your apartment banned.)<br />
<br />
=== Why am I seeing a message that no item was received? ===<br />
<br />
It means that there is no work available. This happens for several reasons:<br />
<br />
* There project has just finished and someone is inspecting the work done. If a problem is discovered, items may be re-queued and more work is available.<br />
* You have checked out / claimed too many items. Reduce your concurrency and let others do some of the work too.<br />
* In a rare case, you have been banned by a tracker administrator because you were requesting too much work, you were tampering with the scripts, a malfunction has occurred, or your internet connection is "unclean".<br />
<br />
=== Why am I seeing a message about rate limiting? ===<br />
<br />
Keep in mind that although downloading the internet for digital preservation and fun are the primary goals of all Archive Team activities, serious stress on the target's server may occur. The rate limit is imposed by a [[Tracker#People|tracker administrator]] and should not be subverted.<br />
<br />
(In other words, we don't want to DDoS the servers.)<br />
<br />
=== Why am I seeing a message about code being out of date? ===<br />
<br />
The warrior will update its code every hour. If you are impatient, please restart the warrior and it will download the latest code and resume work.<br />
<br />
===Help! The warrior is eating all my bandwidth!===<br />
<br />
You can limit the warrior's bandwidth quite easily for VirtualBox as long as you are running a relatively recent version. The option is not offered with a GUI however.<br />
<br />
The command <pre>VBoxManage bandwidthctl archiveteam-warrior-2 add limit --type network --limit 3m</pre> will limit the warrior instance called archiveteam-warrior-2 (the default name of the warrior vm currently) to 3Mb/s. Adjust as needed.<br />
(limit units: k=kilobit, m=megabit, g=gigabit, K=kilobyte, M=megabyte, G=gigabyte)<br />
<br />
<br />
In the latest version of VirtualBox on Windows, the syntax appears to have changed. The correct command now seems to be:<br />
<br />
<pre>VBoxManage bandwidthctl archiveteam-warrior-2 add netlimit --type network --limit 3</pre><br />
<br />
For more info, consult the [http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch06.html#network_bandwidth_limit VirtualBox manual (Chapter 6, Section 9)].<br />
<br />
===NAT sucks! I want directly-bridged networking!===<br />
<br />
Simples! (If you're running linux, that is.)<br />
<br />
<pre>VBoxManage modifyvm "archiveteam-warrior-2" --nic1 bridged</pre><br />
<br />
<pre>VBoxManage modifyvm "archiveteam-warrior-2" --bridgeadapter1 eth0</pre><br />
<br />
(We presume you want to bind to <code>eth0</code>. Adjust as required. :))<br />
<br />
=== I turned my warrior VM appliance off. Will those tasks be lost? ===<br />
<br />
If you've killed your warrior VM instances, then the work your warrior did has been lost, however the tasks will be returned to the pool after a period of time. If you want, you can alert the admins via IRC of what's happened, and they can clear the claims your username may have made. However, this isn't very important on most projects.<br />
<br />
=== I closed my browser or tab with the warrior's web interface. Will those tasks be lost? ===<br />
<br />
No, the web browser interface just provides, well, a user interface to the warrior. As long as the VM is not stopped, it will continue normally.<br />
<br />
=== I need to disconnect my internet / reboot my PC, but I don't want to lose work. ===<br />
<br />
If you pause/suspend the warrior instance, most projects will allow resuming of work in progress when you unsuspend the warrior instance.<br />
<br />
If you decided to use the suspend feature in VirtualBox, please note that if you keep it suspended for too long (more than a few hours), the admins will assume that the item is lost and be re-queued. Using the suspend feature so that you can reboot your computer is perfectly fine.<br />
<br />
=== I told the warrior to shutdown from the interface but nothing has changed! What gives? ===<br />
<br />
The warrior will attempt to finish the current running tasks before shutting down. If you need to shut down right away, go ahead. Your progress will be lost, however the jobs will eventually cycle out to another user.<br />
<br />
=== How much disk space will the warrior use? ===<br />
<br />
Short answer: it depends on the project.<br />
<br />
Long answer: because the way each project defines an item differently, the warrior may be downloading a small file or downloading a whole subsection of a website. The virtual machine is configured by default to use 60GB as an absolute maximum. Any unused virtual machine disk space is not used on the host computer. You may, however, run the virtual machine on less than 60GB if you like to live dangerously. We're downloading the internet after all!<br />
<br />
=== The secondary disk is using up space even though it's not running a project. ===<br />
<br />
Virtual machine disk images do not behave like a regular file. There are several ways to reclaim space:<br />
<br />
* Delete the second disk and put back an empty disk. The warrior should reformat the second disk.<br />
* Delete the entire warrior application and re-import it.<br />
* Use the [http://intgat.tigress.co.uk/rmy/uml/index.html zerofree] program and then clone the disk image. Reattach the cloned disk image.<br />
<br />
=== I can't connect to localhost. ===<br />
<br />
The application includes a configuration to set up port forwarding to the guest machine on port 8001 so you can access the interface through your web browser. If this does not happen, you may need to double check your machine's network settings.<br />
<br />
=== The warrior can't connect to the internet. ===<br />
<br />
It may be possible that the virtual machine has picked up the address of the local DNS cache on your computer which the virtual machine does not have access to. <br />
<br />
If you experience this on VirtualBox, see [http://askubuntu.com/questions/204953/virtualbox-dns-stopped-working-on-upgrade-to-12-10 this question and answer].<br />
<br />
=== I'm looking at the text scrolling by and I notice some errors. rsync is not working. ===<br />
<br />
Uh-oh! Something is not right. Notify us immediately in the appropriate [[IRC]] channel.<br />
<br />
=== The item I'm working on is downloading thousands of URLs and it's taking hours. ===<br />
<br />
See the above question and reboot the warrior as appropriate.<br />
<br />
=== I'm looking at the leaderboard. What's that icon beside the username? ===<br />
<br />
That's just the warrior logo: [[File:Archive_team.png|42px]] (click on the image for a larger version). It means that that person is using the warrior. Those without the icon are running the scripts manually.<br />
<br />
=== What's that guy doing in the logo? ===<br />
<br />
The place is on fire! But don't worry, he safely escaped with the rescued data in his arms.<br />
<br />
=== I want to log in to the virtual machine. How do I do this? ===<br />
<br />
Unless you know what you are doing, you should not need to do this. But if you want to, the username is <code>root</code> and the password is <code>archiveteam</code>. Then, you can execute <code>sudo -u warrior -i</code> to log in as the warrior user. <br />
<br />
Press ALT+F3 to switch to virtual console number 3. Use ALT+Left or ALT+Right to switch between virtual consoles. There are 6 virtual consoles in total. Consoles 1 and 2 are reserved for the warrior.<br />
<br />
=== Can I run multiple virtual machines at the same time? ===<br />
<br />
Yes, but you'll need to adjust the networking settings.<br />
<br />
On the machine, open up Settings → Network → Adapter 1 → Port Fowarding. You need to adjust the Host Port. For example, ensure your table looks like TCP | 127.0.0.1 | 8123 | | 8001. In this example, you can then visit http://localhost:8123/ as it maps port 8123 in your browser to port 8001 which the warrior uses.<br />
<br />
=== The warrior seems to have too much overhead. I can't run a VM in a VPS! ===<br />
<br />
You don't need to run a virtual machine. If you are managing a VPS, it's likely you are comfortable with some Linux stuff. Projects can be run manually. Consult the project wiki page or the source code repository readme file.<br />
<br />
=== Why a virtual machine in the first place? ===<br />
<br />
The virtual machine is a quick, safe, and easy way for newcomers to help us out. It offers many features:<br />
<br />
* Graphical interface<br />
* Automatically selects which project is important to run<br />
* Self-updating software infrastructure<br />
* Allows for unattended use<br />
* In case of software faults, your machine is not ruined<br />
* Restarts itself in case of runaway programs<br />
* Runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux painlessly<br />
* Ensures consistency in the archived data regardless of your machine's quirks<br />
<br />
If you have suggestions for improving this system, please talk to us as described below.<br />
<br />
=== I'm running the scripts manually in a VPS but it says the code is out of date a while later ===<br />
<br />
It happens when a bug in the scripts is discovered. Bugs are unavoidable especially when the server is out of our control.<br />
<br />
Try the <code>--auto-update</code> option available in Seesaw version 0.8. However, please be aware that you are now executing code automatically. Be sure to run the scripts in a separate user account for safety.<br />
<br />
=== I just imported the ova image and the warrior is stuck on "Preparing the data partition" ===<br />
<br />
This issue has cropped up before and we do not know what causes it. It is recommended to just delete the warrior image and import the ova again. Testing shows that such a reimport works in the majority of cases.<br />
<br />
=== Why is the default project not working? / Why is a manual project not in the Warrior yet? ===<br />
<br />
Sorry. Sometimes the administrators are too busy...<br />
<br />
=== Why are there no projects? ===<br />
<br />
If there are no projects showing, you can help us write one. No projects does ''not'' mean there is nothing left to archive!<br />
<br />
=== The instructions to run the software/scripts are awful and they are difficult to set up. ===<br />
<br />
Well, excuuuuse me, princess!<br />
<br />
We're not a professional support team so help us help you help us all. See below for bug reports, suggestions, or contribute writing code.<br />
<br />
=== Where can I file a bug, suggestion, or a feature request? ===<br />
<br />
If the issue is related to the warrior's web interface or the library that grab scripts are using, see [https://github.com/ArchiveTeam/seesaw-kit/issues seesaw-kit issues]. Other issues should be filed into their own [[Dev/Source_Code|repositories]].<br />
<br />
=== I'd like to help write code. Where can I find more info? ===<br />

Many site features have disappeared or became broken in the new design, and their large database of cover art and screenshots had problems loading. In December 2013, the site was bought by [http://blueflamelabs.com/ Blue Flame Labs], who have restored the old site design and managed to draw back pretty much all the contributors. It seems that the site is going back to full health again. <br />
* '''[[WebCite]]''' &ndash; Has a habit of crying for money, threatening it will stop accepting submissions. Since October 2013, the Wayback Machine archives pages on demand, hence there's no reason to use a site like WebCite that declares self at risk. It's expected that they'll send their data to Internet Archive if they ever really have to shut down.<br />
* '''[[Word Count Journal]]''' ({{url|1=http://www.wordcountjournal.com/about}}) is shutting down on June 11, 2011 '''UPDATE''' The site is fully up and running. (checked on October 21, 2011) '''UPDATE2''': Non-functional, but the website is up with this notice "Word Count Journal is no longer being supported." (checked on January 26th, 2012)<br />
