Everyone who wants to help can install the Archive Team Warrior.

The ArchiveTeam Warrior is a virtual archiving appliance. You can run it to
help with the ArchiveTeam archiving efforts.

Installed and running. It's a quick download. If you already have some sort of
VM software installed, getting it running is pretty painless.

(VMware said it wasn't compatible, but gave me the option to retry import with
relaxed restrictions. I had to move the second (scratch) disk from Secondary-
Slave to Secondary-Master, but it came up no problem after that.)

Once it was running, it's just a simple web interface you can use to select
what project you want to participate in.

All in, it was about a five minute affair.

You can track the current progress of the Posterous download at
<[http://tracker.archiveteam.org/posterous/>](http://tracker.archiveteam.org/posterous/>).

Currently they have 4,846,523 items done, and 1,277,126 to go. They need all
the help they can get.
