02:17:06 <CookMePlox> Hey gang! Apologies if this is not quite the right place, but is there anything I can do to get the Internet Archive's scraper (specifically Zeno) to be a bit smarter/gentler with what it archives? It's been hitting my site at a peak of 200 QPS and causing performance issues. I wouldn't mind it so much, except the actual URLs it's hitting are on
02:17:07 <CookMePlox> the very low end of what would be useful to archive
02:18:26 <CookMePlox> I would prefer not to just user-agent block it because I am obviously a big fan of the service overall. Until I checked the IP block of the scraper I assumed it was just some badly-behaved random person or SEO scraper
02:24:21 <yosh> has zippyshare shutting down been noted here yet?
02:24:29 <pokechu22> CookMePlox: You might want to email info⊙ao I'm not super familiar with their scraper though
02:25:00 <CookMePlox> Alright, thanks - I've had fairly limited success contacting that email in the past (about much happier things) but I spose I'll give it a try
02:25:04 <JAA> CookMePlox: Someone else also asked about this a while ago. You'd need to contact IA about this. info⊙ao  (And I'd love to hear what that is about, if they tell you anything about it, since it sounds weird for IA's normal MO.)
02:25:22 <JAA> Ah yes, I got sniped. :-)
02:25:24 <pokechu22> Looks like Zeno specifically is https://github.com/CorentinB/Zeno
02:25:36 <CookMePlox> Yeah, it's especially weird since the user-agent doesn't even identify it as associated with IA
02:25:53 <CookMePlox> I tried searching around for `Zeno user agent`, etc and didn't even find that repo
02:26:41 <pokechu22> https://github.com/CorentinB was the 8th google result for `zeno scraper archive.org` for me - definitely not easy to find

02:38:16 <audrooku|m> Very big
02:46:41 <CookMePlox> Thanks for your help! I'll let you know if I hear anything back about the scraper

03:10:28 <audrooku|m> > Jesus, that's not enough time to archive ZippyShare
03:10:28 <audrooku|m> Maybe it is, afaik we cant enumerate their files, so if we just grab the urls we can scrape it's probably doable

05:38:27 <sepro> Something to note is that Zippyshare blocks access from Germany, Spain and the UK (maybe others as well).
05:38:27 <sepro> Servers and Warriors from these locations could likely not be used.
14:44:03 <arkiver> let's do #zippyshart
16:37:35 <Krum110487> Hello All, is anyone working on a service to send zippyshare links to be archived?
16:37:52 <Krum110487> I plan on searching for Zippyshare links myself.
16:38:28 <myself> --> #zippyshart
16:38:44 <Krum110487> haha, sorry, I didn't mean to ping you.
16:39:11 <Krum110487> also, thanks! I didn't see that channel on the wiki
