MEDIUM priority (Important overall)

3. Seed torrents for as long as possible, rare data forever. Make sure to look up a guide for your router to PORT FORWARD your torrent client port, to substantially increase your upload (and your download) speed. In low population torrent swarms, if no one is port forwarded then you might not be able to connect to each other at all and exchange any data despite having it.
Requirements: As much or as little bandwitdh you want (you can set the limits if you need to)
https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent (Recommended client, especially to replace uTorrent)

4. Archive web pages you want to have a local copy of with a "Web Extension for saving a faithful copy of a complete web page in a single HTML file with a single click"
https://github.com/gildas-lormeau/SingleFile

5. Archive videos with "GUI front-end for youtube-dl, yt-dlp and other compatible video downloaders"
https://github.com/axcore/tartube

6. "Capture or record any area of your screen and share it with a single press of a key"
https://github.com/ShareX/ShareX

7. Archive entire websites you want to have a local copy of
https://www.httrack.com/ (not sure if there is anything better than this)

8. Publish the data that you have archived that isn't easily or at all available online. You can easily create torrents yourself in your torrent client and then share the magnet link to it anywhere online for anyone to access and, as long as DHT (Distributed Hash Table, decentralized way to share torrents without the need for any specific tracker) is enabled in settings (on by default), your files will be searchable on DHT by DHT crawlers, local or online (for example https://btdig.com/, where you can actually also search for FILE NAMES within all DHT torrents)
(archive.org also creates torrents for all uploads automatically but some have complained that their torrents do not reliably mirror the exact current content of the archive.org item so they should not be relied on)

OTHER useful things:

- In your torrent client settings add the best trackers to be automatically added for all of your newly added torrents (helps more easily connect to peers, especially in obscure torrents):
https://github.com/ngosang/trackerslist

- Look into running a node for I2P (anonymous private network within the global internet):
Requirements: Mostly bandwidth, more info: https://geti2p.net/en/faq
https://geti2p.net/

- Look into running Tor/Hyphanet(Freenet)/IPFS nodes.

- "ArchiveBox is a powerful, self-hosted internet archiving solution to collect, save, and view websites offline"

- Look into donating your PC resources to be used more intensively in projects:

What are you archiving or want to archive?
Do you have or know anyone who has some rare interesting data or media not available online?

On early Internet there was some Japanese music (group?) called Aroasfoo. They made some images for Gainax top page (the images used to change periodically). Their site had a bunch of cool art, some were illustrations for (music CDs?) covers others I dunno, just some cool art? It used to be available on the internet archive but last time I checked most of it was lost. pic is one of the images made for Gainax but they had many non-Gainax images on their site.

Are we allowed to make a request regarding archiving all the videos of a bitchute channel?

>>102448852
If we are allowed to make a request, I'd like to request that every video on this channel be backed up please, thanks in advance. https://www.bitchute.com/channel/J8jRLfRYewto , especially all the Joe Bob stuff

>>102451832
Do it yourself, nigga

>>102451832
You can just use yt-dlp and upload all the videos downloaded directly to the Internet Archive as a single item yourself.

Is it true that Internet Archive is shutting down?

I'm sorry you are so upset

what's a REALLY good extension or application that can help me organize my tens of thousands of browser bookmarks? I have tons of obscure jap websites i'd love to archive but i know a chunk of them are NOT sorted for me to find easily in my rats nest of ancient bookmarks.

At that point somehow export the bookmarks and use something else to process the exported URL list, ask an AI to create a quick script to process them in the way that you want given that it should be a simple script.

>>102453776
I've been meaning to investigate this myself as I have similar issues, but I haven't had the chance yet.
