dasgrueneblatt<p>The ArchiveTeam Warrior has been running intermittently on my laptop for ten days now. </p><p>It downloads stuff and puts it into the Internet Archive.</p><p>Everything's fine. It only runs while I use the laptop. I don't notice it. When the laptop goes into standby and wakes up again that doesn't seem to have any adverse effects. </p><p>I've downloaded and uploaded gigabytes so far. The top of the leader board for this project is half a petabyte.</p><p>Now I'm considering a installation where it could run around the clock. I don't want to increase our household's standby energy consumption too much, so I will see how that goes.</p><p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.archive.org/@internetarchive" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>internetarchive</span></a></span> </p><p><a href="https://wien.rocks/tags/archiving" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>archiving</span></a><br><a href="https://wien.rocks/tags/internetArchive" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>internetArchive</span></a><br><a href="https://wien.rocks/tags/DataRescue" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DataRescue</span></a><br><a href="https://wien.rocks/tags/dataPreservation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>dataPreservation</span></a><br><a href="https://wien.rocks/tags/digtitalPreservation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>digtitalPreservation</span></a><br><a href="https://wien.rocks/tags/archiveTeamWarrior" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>archiveTeamWarrior</span></a><br><a href="https://wien.rocks/tags/archiveTeam" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>archiveTeam</span></a></p>
