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.

nihilist:
I'm sporting a 2.x ratio right now.

Rubby:
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.

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