what is this oink thing that everybody is talking about? i look for it in the search and all i can find is new members asking for invitation. |

second best site in the history of internet. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
uhn? so what is the third? |

Oink is a strictly-run music torrent site. It has an excellent array of music all ripped to high quality, as well as music videos and music software. It is notorious for being hard to maintain a good ratio, although anyone who says they are struggling to maintain a good ratio will immediately be rebuffed by someone else telling them that they have had a good ratio from Day Zero and it's not hard, all you have to do is seed a torrent for ten years and presto! you'll get that one-to-one ratio. |

i have a shit ratio as i don't know how to share stuff..anyway, im going to download a few things so i can at least share those. though i doubt anyone will want that..i should share britney spears and robbie williams to improve it. |
||||||||
|

|
|
so it's about mp3 download. why is it better than soulseek? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it isn't. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
why don't you followup answers? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
takes too much effort i guess. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
of course, you could just buy the music in a shop |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
is it better? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yup. i would much rather have a real hard album copy with all the pretty artwork than just download it. if i download an album (pirate or legit) i usually buy a proper copy later on. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it is.. there's far more music on there than on soulseek.. oh, well, i suppose if you don't know how to share a torrent (???) then you might be having trouble with the search feature. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
word on that but sometimes there are records that are impossible to find... could someone please look for Pharoahe Monch - Infernal Affairs over there? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Tolstoyed once said he doesn't like too much technology in general, I guess he's to lazy to understand how to share a torrent and stuff like that, I think he prefers to keep his slsk opened ALWAYS. See, he doesn't even followup anwers because he thinks it takes too much effort lol |
||||||||
|

Oink is more convenient than SLSK, but SLSK has a far better selection of truly esoteric stuff. I got banned from Oink a while back yet again, but there's nothing there I can't find on SLSK or torrentz or emule or whatever. But oink is so fast that I'll want to sneak back on there eventually... They did away with full discographies which makes it far less appealing. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well, on SLSK people have an annoying habit of going offline whilst you're trying to get something from them. Also, quite often the download speed can be lame and you are queued anyway. None of that with Oink, plus it has quality control. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
which one would that be, the vocal or the instrumental version? anyway, you should be able to see that for yourself |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh, wait I keep mixing up that asian film and this album one is called internal affairs the other is called infernal affairs but it should be the normal one.. no need to waste an invite on me; I'll never get around to sharing anything, I'd just appreciate it if I could somehow get my hands on that album... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i cant be bothered to cancel the invite, so the balls are in your court |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ah, right but it won't affect you negatively if I don't share (because you invited me or some bullshit like that), right? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"Oink is more convenient than SLSK, but SLSK has a far better selection of truly esoteric stuff." this sums it up nicely. i can only find like 5% of music im interested in on oink. while i almost always find stuff im interested in through slsk. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i havent gotten any shit for the 4 or 5 invitees who got banned because of bad ratio, so I'm sure it'll be fine treat yourself |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
There's like a kajillion people on SLSK sharing that Monch album. Can you use SLSK? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok <3! thanks a lot! I've been wanting that album for a long long time now! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I searched for it there before but I never found it maybe it's spread since then.. I haven't got slsk installed right now, though and this was much more convenient, as they even have a losless version.. I'd really prefer buying the album, but it isn't available. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes, it will affect him if you don't share. If you get banned because of your poor ratio, he will be banned for inviting you in the first place. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
will it help if I just share the album I download until I've got a 100% share ratio? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i should have been banned a long time ago then |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
maybe you've got a great share ratio so you outweigh those other people? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i usually go 1.0001 for a while then pig out on files and drop to 0.99644 or something then upload some big fat flacs to save my skin for a few days repeat ad infinitum |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
If it has the musicisises of my two favorite artists, bett middler and bit meddler, then I'm all over it like tablecloth. I bet aliens do something like farting, though it isn't farting but is still equally funny in an alien sort of way. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes, that would be fine; you might find yourself seeding that one thing for the next 17 years to get your 1.0 ratio. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
my bittorrent can't find the tracker :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oink invite please: shez@shez.org - i got new netz so i wanna try this amazingly lame site again :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I got kicked off for being bad. Be careful. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i just never stop seeding anything to maintain a good radio :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
forced ratio is crap. it fucks up the system because too many people seed, and no one can maintain a good ratio because of this. |
