I\'ve got a few if you\'re SER about "conforming". ie: keep your ratio up!
-
might just be able to help you.
-
def will keep your ratio up.
-
yeah but if you dont keep a high ratio, i\'ll have you booted. sunshinepimp is makin me look like an **** with something like a 0.3 ratio. bad form.
-
anyone with open invites out there?
-
any one have an extra invite? ive been trying to get on oink for months now..
send me your e-mail addy todd@tkaphotos.com
-
i download as much illegal **** as possible
trust
-
sorry joe. if i\'d\'a known....
and like you, i only pull stuff i\'ve already bought, can\'t find anywhere else, live bootlegs or something to give me a taste before i go buy stuff.
-
I used Oink to sample stuff before I would buy it or to get out of print albums. Other than that I hate the site and can\'t wait for its demise.....

Abbie Hoffman would be proud of you folk.

Damn you Jason King, why didn\'t you give me that site months ago!!!!??! GRRRRRRRRRRR....
-
they are strict about folks not using bitcomet over there.
install and run azureus.
http://www.sourceforge.com
-
somewhere in their faq, it mentions a bt program that doesn\'t work real well with oink. i don\'t remember if its comet or not, though. azareus is a great prgram, but it eats up system resources. when i started oinking, i used bittornado but switched to azareus for its extra features (downloading specific songs rather than the whole show, for example). but i honestly don\'t know why comet isn\'t working. sorry.
-
i\'m not sure if i am or not but heres the thing, i use bit comet a lot with other sites like torrentreactor.co and thetradersden.org..... but can\'t get the torrents to work from oink?
-
are you firewalled? http://www.portforward.com , if you are.
and you\'re welcome, enjoy! :)
-
well first off, thanks to both cobby and jking for the generous invites! i used jking\'s invite so jim i guess you can take yours back? if thats possible? but i do appreciate it nonetheless.....
but what i wanted to say is that i love the site and found a bunch of great torrents, but when i try to start them up in bit comet they don\'t connect? i\'m not sure why this is happening, so any help by any oinkers would be much appreciated!

rujah, post your email (or pm me). i\'m sitting on five invites. as long as you can BT, you can oink.
16.87 % ratio..... :disco:
-
so does this site have like software apps too? where do I register?
-
East West Symphonic Orchestra sample library is destroying my ratio. i\'m gonna have to seed this for ages.
-
finally decided to download the beatles discography today, after getting my ratio up to 8.0. :D i\'m at a measly 4.076 now..
-
thanks for the reminder on that Zappa discography, I need to pick that up
I just nabbed a Ray Charles anthology that looks great as well as some Dead Kennedys releases that I have on cassette and don\'t want to hassle with converting to digital.

Uploading Rules - Failure to comply with these rules will result in a warning or a ban
Torrents should never be tagged as [REQ] or [REQUEST]. If you fill a request using Requests then everyone who voted for it will be automatically notified
Not sure what kind of problems they had in the past but they spell it out pretty plainly. I imagine that it had something to do with the sheer volume of torrents that get uploaded there.
yeah, i know.. i just think it\'s one of the more retarded rules they have.. all good though.. my 1-week warning is up, i got my zappa discography, been filling requests, and got my ratio almost up to 2:1...

I ran out of music to snatch so i downloaded 40 gigs worth of audio books last night and today. So much great stuff on there
-
What\'s a \'one week warning\' anyhow? And what is the big deal with \'per request,\' other than perhaps it is used too much as of late?
-
oh well, easy come, easy go.

I downloaded 3 albums when I first got it, then logged off and havent been back. I probably was banned. :P
its nice to see that invite that i had to upload 18 GB to earn is going to good use. :tongue:
sorry man, untill I finish off moe, I don\'t have any hd space, so I can\'t download anything new. I had to delete what I had just to get render space.
you got banned for leeching. you downloaded stuff but didnt upload anything.

Sounds like ul/dl that was done before the 9th will still count towards your ratio but stuff done after that will not.
Torrents that were uploaded before the 30th are saved but ones done afterward will need to be re-uploaded.
That is what I get out of the statement but don\'t take it as gospel.

does this mean I don\'t have mine?

OiNK.me.uk is temporarily offline (both site and tracker).
When the site returns, sadly there will be some data loss, possibly substantial. This mainly affects torrents which are/were on the site, not users\' statistics.
We will be going back to a database backup from the 9th of January, stats since then have been lost.
Unfortunately, we need to go back much further for the torrents and ones uploaded after December 30th will need to be reuploaded.
While we realise this will be a major inconvenience, it is the best we can do.
We\'re sorry for the downtime but please bear with us. This is not going to be a quick fix, expect at least a day of downtime.
The IRC server is available at irc.oink.me.uk:6667/OiNK.
We hope to have everything back up and running sometime tomorrow (15th).

not sure what this means.. the second bolded phrase seems to go against the first, so we\'ll see.. sounds like i\'ll still have my account though, so that\'s good..
-
darn sad i missed that torrent
-
it was me.
only after i got the ok though...
-
aahhhh I see
-
Oink is a site that you can get just about any album (illegally inmost cases) off of it.

aren\'t these the same people who illegally had the entire Breakfast collection for download? (Copyrighted discs and all)
yeah, thanks to a .infoer who put them there....
-
wow, these people are really **** nazis..
been on for all of a day, and already got a \'1 week warning\' for putting [PER REQUEST] in the title of a torrent...
good lord..

The rules and regulations are a little overwhelming. I use the site only when I feel I can devote enough time to searching and keeping a torrent up that won\'t kill my ratio.
-
i got a 1 week warning because they didnt believe that i has access to the master wav>mp3 version of the GDRadio.net webcast, even though its my show.
-
there very strict...
but,if you play by the rules,its a great site.
