As some of you (especially Asian users) might know, Wretch and Yahoo Blog, two popular blogging services in Asia, will be shutting down on December 26 (some versions of Yahoo Blog are already closed).

Archive Team is working on archiving them, but we can't make it in time - mostly because of Yahoo blocking/throttling IPs very quickly. There is about 38TB of data to save in total. You can help!

You can help out by running the ArchiveTeam Warrior, a pre-configured virtual machine that will join in the archiving effort, completely automated. If you want to help out from a server or other Linux system, you can run the manual scripts for Wretch and Yahoo Blog - it will only take a few minutes to set up, and won't require a virtual machine!

If you can help out with multiple IPs (this would be very much appreciated!), you should use the manual setup instructions linked above, and read the section about Multiple IPs. If you have one or more larger IP ranges that you want to use, you can also use express-train.py to launch a script for each IP at once! (Note that this will need about 32MB-64MB of RAM per IP.)

If you want to follow the progress, here is a live leaderboard for Wretch, and here is the one for Yahoo Blog.

Thanks!
