torrent sites

[upsidedownwalrus]

Odd, I wonder why? Perhaps we will see the amusing spectacle of Chinese sites being blocked in the west?

(Amusing cos the usual way round is for western sites to be blocked in china)

I fucked up my password AGAIN.

I'm a bit worried that they'll ban me for this

I thought Oink was shit. Really.

What is there on that site that you can't get elsewhere without getting a panic attack over the ratio?

Nothing that I could see, it was just full of people uploading stuff for one or two others in the hope that their ratio wouldn't drop to the point where they're kicked off.

Just google the name of what you're looking for followed by 'torrent'.

I think Oink is great. I've found 2 torrents that loads of people want so I've just left them uploading for days now which has brought my ratio way up. That means that I can pretty much download what I want without worrying about ratio.

They are cnuts they are asking for the impossible!

Does one honestly have to check to for transcode with adobe audition. I've downloaded audition - but I have no idea how to unpack the fucker.

 

[dolly's gal]

i don't get it.

all i know is my new pc is totally full of films and music cos you gotta share!!!

i ain't even got da word

 

[118118]

Yeah. And now I've uploaded something and it says I've got to download it to seed. Except that it won't start, despite the fact that I already own these files!

 

[118118]

I have better things to do with my time. I mean the site should be able to explain these things.

 

[dolly's gal]

i just let me fella do it.

and we get free films to boot.

all oi have to do is suck his cock!!!

 

[belboid]

You're right, after an inital panic about my ratio I seem to have got the hang of it and uploaded a few torrents. Two of them have been deleted for being duplicates so I now have a search before upping anything and my ratio is currently at about 0.9.

I've found quite a bit of stuff there that I haven't been able to find elsewhere but I'm just getting my ratio up before I go download crazeeee.

 

[118118]

Irritatingly I uploaded a rquest that was already there just hadn't been filled.

I think unpacking adobe audition is beyond me - I'lll just upload anyway...

I've just discovered that my OINK account has long since expired...

Anyone...

*looks sweet*

 

[118118]

Oh yeah and I worry that places like oink might encourage people not to share on soulseek. So that more people don't get access to music.

Also, the actual ratio stipulations are not really all that bad. I mean up to 25 gigs downloaded, you only need a ratio of 0.25, which is not that difficult. I think at 100 gigs it's 0.5.

Now bitme fucking TV - that's a cunt of a site.

There's someone I invited who has still not activated their account. If they haven't done so by Monday I'll cancel it and you can have it.

Soulseek looked like it had died on its arse last time I signed into it.

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

Oh yeah and I worry that places like oink might encourage people not to share on soulseek. So that more people don't get access to music.

I actually switch between both though, 'spread the love' as it were.

If something isn't on Oink, I get it off soulseek and then upload it on Oink to boost my ratio. If its on Oink, I download it off there and then share it on Soulseek. Switching between the two in this way is the best way to keep a good Oink ratio too.

A couple more questions:

1. I've uploaded an album and playing it now it pops alot. Should I delete from oink?

2. What file format are "winamp media files" - can I upload them?

Bit addicted to this now. But my ratio is still fuicked and I've probably upped some tanscodes.

Thanks

That's just a catch-all for any file format (mp3,flac,whatever) that are associated with your copy of Winamp ie when you double-click on them Winamp will fire up rather than Windows Media Player, say. To see what the file type really is, you need to check the filename. I'm guessing that most things Winamp can play will be fine for uploading.
