Re: Some friendly words

Thanks for appreciating my efforts and explaining the ArchiveTeam to me. I thought "#archiveteam-bs" was for off-topic conversation, though. :/ And of course I didn't give up on archiving. Why would I? I'm getting 24 Blu-ray M-Discs next month, in fact. :) Would you willing to explain to the other users about the situation? I'm willing to forgive them if they accept it & apologize for my trolling. I'm just glad someone, by the very least, understood my situation and took the time to write to me.

And I looked at your userpage. I'll see if I can track down some Hungarian sites. You can always use the Google operator "site:.hu" to filter just Hungarian sites. There is, however, this site. I have a backup of it, but not in .warc.gz format. Even worse, Yahoo is stupid enough to be shutting down their first service: dir.yahoo.com (Yahoo! Dir), on 12/31/2014. Stupid Yahoo...

And by the way, SketchCow disliked the fact that I "asked too many questions". Archive Maniac 13:25, 19 October 2014 (EDT)

I'm waiting for Wpull to have a Windows release or a Python 2 release. I also stink at Python big time... Archive Maniac 17:47, 19 October 2014 (EDT)
Python3 unfortunately gets mixed up with Python 2 in the Command Prompt (e.g. python3 is not recognized as a command). That's why I've stuck to Python 2, because I use the wiki dump tool with that version. Aside from that, I always get errors when attempting installation, like vcvarsbatall.bat or something error, couldn't find seesaw kit, etc. Python is so user-unfriendly...

Any Help on Chat?

What's your IRC username? I want help coming back on the ArchiveBot & archiveteam-bs channel. And please tell me what discussions are appropriate for the latter; you do have a way with words. :P Archive Maniac 20:59, 21 October 2014 (EDT)

ArchiveBot Requests

Hey, Bzc6p. Are you willing to take ArchiveBot requests from me? I also like your Hungarian site archiving. I recently archived smb.gportal.hu on my computer. Archive Maniac 18:55, 18 November 2014 (EST)

I have two more questions (the thing that made users upset at me):
  1. I like archiving stuff. What archiving tools do you know of and recommend?
  2. Is there a way that I can save whole sites to the Wayback Machine without using the ArchiveBot channel? I probably don't think so, but there still might be a chance.
  3. Why doesn't the ArchiveTeam make C++ ports of their Python tools?
  4. When I try to use Wget, I get this error in the command prompt: Connecting to SITENAME (SITENAME)|IP|:PORT... failed: Bad file descriptor. Do you know how to fix this problem?

I hope you're not too annoyed by these questions, like the others would probably be. Archive Maniac 12:01, 20 November 2014 (EST)

Thanks for the info. And what's been a problem is that I've tried to set ArchiveBot or wpull up a few times, but never had proper 100% cannot fail step-by-step instructions on how to set both up. If you have the time, could you please write a more specific tutorial than the existing one? I preferably want a tutorial on the former [wpull]. Archive Maniac 11:45, 22 November 2014 (EST)

Blank CD Question

Hi Bzc6p, I am wondering how long CD-R's and DVD-R's last with a .iso image burned on to it. Is it just as long as the estimated shelf life? More importantly: what do you recommend for long-term backup solutions? Archive Maniac 14:51, 29 November 2014 (EST)

Blogter.hu's Unexpected Downfall

Hi Bzc6p. You know how Blogter unexpectedly shut down in December in spite of its popularity? That goes to show that anything, and I mean anything, can happen to web sites that seem okay but actually are in limbo (i.e. extinction). That's why I suggested you archive gportal.hu. I already archived the Mario and DK sites. Archive Maniac 19:46, 7 December 2014 (EST)
