b) want to postively contribute to the torrent network
Just PM me your email address and/or post in this thread.
If you have access to leaked advances or special bootlegs (or anything of the sort), tell me and i'll be sure to get you one.

I used to have some, but not anymore..

I fired off a PM if you have any left

I would love that, actually. Hope I am not too unkown to be trusted with something like that.
-
If it's not too late I'd really appreciate one.
-
I just noticed your signature; What column was that, because I totally don't remember it, but I love it.
-
System of a Down. It is an image caption of FDR.
-
All sent out. Sorry to eyepatch and pig nash.
PM Kid Modernist if you guys still want em.
-
System of a Down. It is an image caption of FDR.
I totally found that. <3 Dr. Thorpe.
-
Are you guys just not gonna accept your invites? Cause if you don't, there are people who I can send em to who will.
-
Ive checked my email and PMs but I havent received anything from you.
-
For you, Spinless, I'd like to point out that the PM you sent me said
mailto:[email protected]
Resent.
As for you, Chesire, I has it sent to
[email protected], which I believe is correct, but I resent it to the email you pmed me just to be sure.
-

Sorry, but when I try to accept it it gives me an error message saying "Error
Sorry, user limit reached. Please try again later." I'm planing on asking them on IRC about it but the past few days have been very hectic. I'll give it a tryt tomorrow in the evening.
-
You just have to keep trying to sign up. I got that message a few times and asked about it in IRC, turns out that they delete inactive accounts every 20 minutes, so sometimes you can't sign up because there are too many members.
-
Yes, I am getting this error too. I will keep trying, though.
-

Ah, thanks I'll keep trying.
-
Apparently, the error message itself is an error. If you keep getting it, just try logging in with the username and password you chose. Worked for me.
-
I have two invites too if anyone wants one.
BTW tracker has user limit at 60k
-
I would appreciate one at [email protected] if possible..
-
I got through. Now I hope I don't fuck up.

That is an underscore in my email, maybe that helps?
-
People that have been invited but did not register yet. Keep trying because bad accounts are deleted constantly so you should get in if you try in one hour intervals.
-
I too have five if anyone wants. Same rules apply.
-
What kind of music is shared there? Is it only boring indie bollocks, or is interesting stuff allowed too?
-
everything you ever wished for :D Currently there are 36468 torrents so I think anybody should find something for his/her taste.
BTW just a small advice for new members. Upload something that it is not already uploaded because it is kind a hard to have good ratio at first and read the rules (minimum bitrate is 192 for everithing expect audio books)
-
What kind of music is shared there? Is it only boring indie bollocks, or is interesting stuff allowed too?
There are 1265 metal torrents right now and lots of IDM and other electronic music.
-
I would love an Oink invite if there are any left. I PMed someone, but I don't know if they are tapped out. I have an account at indietorrents that I'd be willing to share my login for (i don't have any invites yet), but its really tough to find stuff on indietorrents, they have strict no-RIAA rules.

I am so jumping on this once I get enough uploads so that it won't screw my ratio.
I am really freaking chuffed with Oink. Since most of the CDs I have aren't RIAA safe, I wasn't really able to upload much on Indietorrents, and I've mostly just been crashing and burning downloading stuff that I hope other people will upload from me. Within my first two days on oink I had already uploaded two albums, and had 2 people each download them. The requests system is pretty kickass as well.
Thanks Spartan, this is the first private music tracker I've been on that I really felt was worthwhile contributing to.
-
OiNK is craptacular!
Well, no. Just that people keep seeding all sorts of rubbish that sifting through it takes a lot of effort. I find that TorrentLeech is the place to be.
-
Actually, no don't send me one. I can't be arsed.
-
Damn I really want one, apparently OINK has the new Built To Spill album, I haven't been able to find it anywhere else.

It's on Demonoid. I have an invite if you want it.
-
Yeah, Demonoid kinda wins.
Also, I got a good (If not all, I haven't checked) portion of the Clad discog off of DC++. Best descision I ever made in terms of piracy was switching to it.
-
I've got quite a few invites and would be willing to part with about a third of them, so maybe 4 people who are really into music and have decent broadband want to email me.
UPDATE: ok, that cleans me out. i'll post again if i have a surplus again.
-
I would like an invite to OinK. sent it to [email protected]
-
WE DO NOT NEED TO BE BRINGING TWO MONTH OLD THREADS BACK FROM THE DEAD SO THAT YOU WITH YOUR ONE POST CAN GET AN INVITE AND THEN LEAVE. THERE'S ALREADY ONE THREAD ABOUT TORRENTS ANYWAYS, GODDAMIT
GAH
-
But what about people like me who have a new fuckton of invites to give out?
-
somebody still have one left?
i can trade for tracker.vipmusic.org - but this tracker is down for a while.
will be glad for invite.
falloutthomas (at) gmail (dot) com
-
But what about people like me who have a new fuckton of invites to give out?
I would probably use them for a better cause than encouraging jackasses to post here just to mooch an invite.
-
k ;)
-
Edit: Turn it into a contest! Whoever can suck the most dick in their first and only post gets the invites!
So am I not eligable?
-
Whoa.... I was ultra mega excited because I got an invite from nihilist...and they totally banned me without a warning or even explanation. I just came back and all my torrents were stopped. I went to the chat to ask what happened, and I guess when my boyfriend helped me set up the bittorrent client (I don't know CRAP about that stuff), he set me up on the wrong one and had to do some kind of fix to get it to work. And so they just banned me and booted me from the IRC channel (which is the only way I can ask for forgiveness).
The thing that sucks is they were like REALLY REALLY rude and snotty about it and saying "It was clear what would happen if you did what your boyfriend did, and so tell him he ruined it for you." But I went back and read the rules and there was absolutely NOTHING that said I couldn't use the client I was using.
I wouldn't be that sad about it, but I had invested a TON of time into it so far. In a week, I had uploaded over 6.5 GB of stuff, including creating 2 torrents, and my sharing ratio was way above 100%. *sigh*
Sorry, I had to share that somewhere. VERY VERY SAD.
-
What did he do?
-
They're an indie torrent site. They're SUPPOSED to be snobs an assholes.
-
No, that's indietorrents.
My most popular upload on Oink is King Crimson's first album, which has been downloaded 54 times, so there's a healthy variety of taste.
-
What did he do?
My boyfriend? Apparently he downloaded the source code for Transmission (the client) and changed some piece of code that tells the server "I am Transmission!" to say to the server "I am XUIO!" *shrug*
I wouldn't be so upset about it if the rules had actually said "Hey, Transmission is one of the clients that's not allowed" because there is a list of banned ones. But it's not.
But yeah Kai is right. I'd heard bad bad news about ever needing help or having to talk to or deal with the mods. The worst thing in the world is a nerdy indie kid with power.
-
That is a sort of bad thing to do though.
-

Well the thing is, if you try to download a torrent from OiNK with transmission, it will say "Transmission is not allowed, please use a different client", and once you switch your client, everything will be fine.
Your boyfriend tryed to trick the server into letting him use Transmission, which has a problem with upload bad blocks.
-
*shrug* Like I said, I honestly don't know very much about this stuff. I understand now that it wasn't him just "fixing" it, but I also don't see why they couldn't just say "OK, well, we'll give you a warning but if you use the right client we won't ban you."
Cuz I really was contributing and uploading quite a bit. My ratio was already above 1 and I had pushed about 6.5G, including uploading 2 new torrents.
Oh well. I also understand that there's no incentive for them to be nice or understanding because there's 1000 other people who are waiting in line to take my place.
-
I was thinking of asking for an invite, but it seems like a hell of a lot more trouble than it's worth. I'll stick with demonoid.

yeah, i would agree with you. the admins at invite-only torrent sites tend to be elitist snobs, but we just have to deal with them :-/
-
Yeah, as totally sad and slightly enraged that I am about the way it all went down, I can honestly say that if I had the option of going back, I'd do it in a heartbeat. Their power is in the amazing draw of their product.
-
I have had only good experiences with Oink so far, and the ods have been helpful. I guess you had bad luck.
Indietorrents, however, is one tracker where I'm scared shitless of fucking up.
-
i've been stuck at a .18 share rating for indietorrents. and no one has said anything yet.
i really want an oink invite.
i would be willing to trade for a deamonoid invitation.
if anyone's interested, email me.
[email protected]
-
I would be muchly grateful for an oink invite, me and a friend have been looking for months and dammit its getting old.

-
you're just mad because you don't have an invite either.
-
If anyone happens to have a spare invite, could you send one to me :-D
[email protected]
It would be most appreciated, and I'd of course make you look good.
-
oh man i would hell of appreciate an invite to any of these torrent sites.
[email protected]
i am probably too late but eh, worth a shot.
-
you're just mad because you don't have an invite either.
That was more directed at the poster below you, who still only has a post count of one. And no, I don't have an invite, but really, I don't want one. I can get plenty of music other ways. Maybe one day I'll request one, but for now, I'm fine.
And, of course, we have another poster with one post asking for an invite. Just a tad annoying, no?
-
I thought I asked for one of the invites when this thread was first made....fuck!
If anyone's got one left over on either either OiNK or Indietorrents, I'd really like one. My email's on my profile of just pm me! Thanks!

not really, because that means that if people have free invitations, that they can get passed out, which is kinda the point of this thread.

Well the fact of the matter is that if you know enough about bittorrent to make your client fake its ID, then you should know that it's a really stupid thing to do. From Oink's perspective you were trying to deliberately cheat the system and thus they banned you straight away.
It may very well been your boyfriend who did it, not you, but that doesn't negate the fact that it was bannable offense. There's no reason to download the Transmission source and then edit it send fake client IDs. It would have been about a hundred times easier to just download a proper client.
In conclusion, I don't know what the fuck your boyfriend was playing at, but I would advise you against letting him do it again.
I might seem a little harsh, but you need to realise that Oink were entirely justified in instantly banning you. If you realise that it was a big deal not unfair mods, then hopefully you won't do it again. I'll talk to some people about getting you back on if you make sure you get a proper client. What was your username on Oink?
-
I do absolutely understand that it was a big deal to them, or else they wouldn't have gone to the trouble of banning me. And I was/am definitely willing to go with the right client now that I understand what my boyfriend did was against the rules. I had offered to switch to another client that night in the Oink help room, but I know they had no reason to trust that I would actually do so, so they said that wasn't acceptable.
I'm sorry if I was coming off more indignant than what i should be. I do understand now that I was breaking the rules. I just felt the punishment was slightly more harsh than the crime, because I'm totally willing to get a proper client. If you could talk to them, that would really, really be the kindest thing. My username was brandienaked.
-
...
Brandie...
Is the bunny in your avatar pulling a goatse?
ew!
-
:) Yes.
-
Well according to by Mod contacts, faking client IDs is up there with hospitalising Oink himself by beating him with his server in terms of never ever getting unbanned. This guy is a real good friend of mine, and he said there was no way he could reinstate my account if I was banned for that, let alone someone I was vouching for just because she posts on the same forum as me.
Your uploads and ratio and all that sort of thing are pretty much gone for good, but I could just invite you again. You did a lot better on the ratio than everyone else I've ever invited, so it seems a real shame to be permently barred for one (albeit fairly major) mistake. They don't IP ban or anything crazy like that, so use a different email address and it should be all good. Just PM me.
-
a close friend of mine was banned recent from oink some idiot got a hold of his account & used a ratio hack as the mods said thats what was used he was a good user he was always uploading his own rips but to the mods they do not care that he was banned they dont even care he donated a few times to the site other oink members complained that his account should be reactivated since he was a good flac uploader always uploading & filling peoples requests they was warned if they keep it up they would be banned if they was to invite him under a diff name they would be banned for inviting him back some of the mods can be very rude not gonna mention the names of the mods but to me if u can proove it was not you then you should be able to get your account back so what i am trying to say is dont give your invites out to anybody that has been banned anybody can say they are new to oink but can mess up your account by inviting them
-
I would love an invite for a good indie torrent site. I don't have crap to offer but I have a great connection and always try to seed to 200%.
Actually, anyone who invites me will get free drinks if I ever meet them in a bar.

There's this little invention called the period. (http://www.penny-arcade.com/images/2003/20030707h.jpg)
-
Period? how about punctuation in general?
-
Capitalization is also delicious.

I was searching for some information and stumbled upon this thread.
The following two quoted statements were written in back to back posts
... They don't IP ban or anything crazy like that, so use a different email address and it should be all good. Just PM me.
The above statement indicates that if you've been banned from OiNK and you can get an invite, as long as you use a different email address,
there are no problems and you're back as a new member in good standing. Or is this only the case if you have a contact like MilkmanDan who knows someone within OiNK?
I fixed some of the puctuation in the following statement that somewhat suggests something else entirely.
so what i am trying to say is dont give your invites out to anybody that has been banned. Anybody can say they are new to oink, but can mess up your account by inviting them
I know a couple of users who've been recently banned from OiNK. One of them thinks in addition to another email address, that he needs to migrate to another ISP and perhaps change additional settings in order to attemp to use another invite.
Any clarification would be appreciated.
-
I can check tomorrow for shure, but as far as I know OiNK IP bans major offenses (Faking client IDs, ratio faker thingies, etc), but doesn't for minor things like rato issues. However, my evidence for the latter is pretty old so maybe they are IP banning everything. I will check. However, I DO know that you don't get in trouble if your invitees fuck up. It's their problem, and theirs alone.
I'll ask Mr Mod tomorrow about the IP bans. Seriously though, it's pretty easy to not get kicked off. I have only uploaded 3 albums ever, and I've got nearly 150GB up. Just leave the torrents running and don't be a fool.
-
Thanks for the reply Dan.
-
Anyone one got a spare oink invite, i could really do with one. I have good ratios onother sites.
-
Hi,
Does anyone have an oink invite they can spare? I have 25gb of music to add to the scene and been trying to get an invite for a couple months now with no luck. I also have 15gb on dvd and will mail it to you for an invite....let me know. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I probably wouldn't have noticed it otherwise, and your insightful comments are a delight to read.
Anyway, pretty please with cyanide on top: [email protected]

sorry to hear that Spinless, just alot of ppl have lost their accounts and the only way is to beg for them on forums.. Its pretty sad, yea.. but what else can you do. oink-invite is gone and when i had my invite long ago 6 weeks = deletion. my cable went down for a month and i was pretty much done.
if it means sticking around getting a more posts, meeting ppl and whatnot for an invite, i would gladly do it. i've got noone else to turn to.. until then, greets and hello ppl :]
-
Anyone kind enough to spare an oink invite?
Would really appreciate it and not abuse it.
Thank you :-). My email is [email protected]

i think this thread is really amusing.
I do not want an invite, working at a college radio station rocks (no pun intended).
