Donate Idle Bandwidth to Internet Archive - Make sure the internet never forgets

Big Tech and certain governments love to scrub the internet clean of things they’d rather you didn’t see. Videos, articles, interviews, documents. POOF! Gone. This is especially important now because Trump has defunded many climate science agencies and radio agencies providing coverage for people living in oppressive regimes. The Internet Archive is our digital time capsule, but it needs your bandwidth to keep history alive.

Enter Archive Team Warrior

• Runs inside a lightweight VM (so your main rig stays chill)

• Uses almost zero CPU/GPU—old ThinkPads, Raspberry Pis, even your ancient college laptop can do it

• Grabs web pages destined for deletion and ships them off to the Internet Archive

How to join the fight

1. Download Archive Team Warrior

2. Fire up the VM

3. Let it silently munch bandwidth while you game, stream, or at work.

4. Pat yourself on the back, you’re preserving internet history!

So instead of turning your computer into a heater with BOINC or Folding@Home, here is an option that's kinder on your hardware. Let your internet connection do the heavy lifting.

Together we can make sure the internet truly never forgets.

Seems like a worthwhile use of compute. I'll give it a try.

Welp, this might not be for me with my 25Mbit/s upload speed xD

Just me or is this broken? it's stuck trying to pull the docker image. but it seems like the site is down or something

But doing a `ping` on `atdr.meo.ws` works, so i'm not sure what is going on

On the VM say Virtualbox, is the Internet on bridging mode or on NAT? Try swapping to see if works.
