Archive Status
It got thrown into ArchiveBot (job ident 6p1on8xhw243qqku1x1l3nsyj & 74zrpb2bapc0o4h4o7iff9r6u (en), russian and french jobs don't exist).
May need to be a warrior job as SimpleBrain has been getting redirect login messages.
Warrior project for discovery started on 2015-04-25.
How can I help?
Running a Warrior
You can start up a Warrior and there select Baraza. (If you don't really care what you are archiving, select ArchiveTeam's Choice instead, as at some points ArchiveTeam may priorize another project.)
Running the script manually
If you use Linux and you're a bit familiar with it, you can try running the script directly.
The instructions can be found at github.com/ArchiveTeam/baraza-discovery.

Donating to the Internet Archive
Content downloaded by the ArchiveTeam will be uploaded to the Internet Archive, where it will be stored and be available – hopefully – forever. However, storing it costs thousands of dollars in the long run. So, if you can afford, please consider donating to the Internet Archive, so that this piece of history can be kept for us all. http://archive.org/donate
