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.

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. 

ComfortEagle:
Sorry to be asking the obvious, but what exactly is Oink?

öde:
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.

ComfortEagle:
Thought so, thanks.
