No.
There aren't.

You could try crappy, less-good sites.
Demonoid.com opens registrations every friday.

EDIT:
If you're looking for uncommon music, give up.  OiNK is king.

I haven't used Soulseek but as long as the people on it aren't dicks about kbps like OiNK is, then I suggest taking tommy's advice.

Seriously, I've avoided OiNK thus far because from what I've heard, a ton of people on it are anal-retentive dicks. Usually if I can't find something in any other way I'll have Emilio download it for me and zip it.

Soulseek is pretty much King. You can find anything there.

I also reccomend Soulseek. It has a lot of stuff and it dosen't have any of the bitrate/ratio hings oink does. I am pretty partial to oink though, as it has a lot of stuff soulseek doen't have, all in high quality and since people are concerned about their ratio, you'll always get a aseed and usually with great speed and chances are the seeder won't leave you hanging mid-album, no queues either and the request system is pretty good too. Soulseek is definitely second best though, and it did have one album i had been lloking for ages on oink, evie sand's anyway that you want me.

I used soulseek for a bit, my problem was that not everyone is as anal about tagging their music as I am.  I tried setting up a seperate folder for stuff to go into before i would transfer them to g.pop, but it got to be to much of a hassle.

soulseek has been great to me as well, but like others have mentioned you often get things with wrong tags and what not but I don't mind doing some organizing now and then.

www.btjunkie.org is basically a google for ALL torrents on the internet.  It will find stuff on registration required sites (including OiNK), which you can avoid if you pay a small monthly fee.  It still doesn't find everything.  I can't find Negative Format or Novakill on any torrent sites or on slsk.  Some stuff you just have to be lucky with and find a physical copy.  But on a side note, Demonoid has been getting better stuff in lately.  If you want a really good one for metal (and some forms of rock), go to rockbox.psychocydd.co.uk.  They don't take kindly to leechers either.

God, it's impossible for me to keep my ratio up at OiNK anyways...I've been through three accounts.  Almost every file I want gets DLed like once a month, and the ratio gets split between the seeders, so I always end up giving up at about .25-.5.

As am I.
I really don't see why people have such problems keeping a good ratio on Oink. I was < 1 for about the first week I was on, ever since then it's been smooth sailing. As long as you're clever and seed until TTL (or is that indietorrents only lingo) everything is fine.

As for SoulSeek. It's pretty good and I still use it occasionally, but there are huge organization and accountability problems. I'm sure everyones had a u/l-er go off-line halfway through an album; but even if you get the whole thing there's still no guarantee the files aren't going to be complete shit. Not to mention tagging problems and searching problems.
Plus with torrents, if there are >100 seeders, I can usually get a d/l speed of 1.1 MB/s. An entire album gets to me in about 30 seconds.

I have better things to blow my bandwidth on.  Like games.  And also seeding for TorrentLeech.

No, my problem is that most of the files I download tend to have less than 10 leechers, with a bunch of people seeding, and it takes months for the ratio to reach 1 for that torrent because so many people are trying to seed to so little.  As for organization in slsk, they do state bitrates of the files....but I agree with searching and tagging.

It's a torrent tracker site. Basically, it hosts lists of things such as music, books and programs that you can download from other people on the network using a bittorrent client.
