Title: Sorry to do this(Indietorrents)
Post by: Chesire Cat on 14 Dec 2005, 18:36: I haven't exactly posted here in a dogs age, but Im kinda drowning in a lack of decent new music to download. Dont exactly know QCs stance on mooching indietorrent invites, but I wouldn't mind getting one. Can someone help a brother out?
Title: Sorry to do this(Indietorrents)
Post by: Spartan Pho3nix on 14 Dec 2005, 21:28: Lol. Ditto. I've wanted one for a few months now, just haven't figured out how to get one. This would be nice.

Title: Sorry to do this(Indietorrents)
Post by: Hat on 15 Dec 2005, 01:16: I guess if someone has already set a precedent, I can't really help but ask as well, because I would love an invite, but I don't know anyone on it :(
Title: Sorry to do this(Indietorrents)
Post by: HeroX on 15 Dec 2005, 12:02: you need to have a >1.0 ratio on indie torrents to have any invites. which is hard to maintain with all the new music they have. i leave all my torrents i download going almost 24/7 for weeks after downloading and still have like 0.44. plus even with that ratio you get 1 invite every month. if i ever get any invites i'll happily share.
Title: Sorry to do this(Indietorrents)
Post by: pat101 on 15 Dec 2005, 15:31: I just got an invite. which was awsome, but there's no way I'll keep up with that ratio they've got. They don't like me there anyways, some firewall bullshit.

Post by: Kai on 15 Dec 2005, 16:01: Seems rather snobbish. I prefer Demonoid myself, but I'm crazy.
Title: Sorry to do this(Indietorrents)
Post by: Chesire Cat on 17 Dec 2005, 13:39: Well I currently use mininova (http://www.mininova.org) and torrentspy (http://www.torrentspy.com) but theres alot of music neither has. Hell, I've still never heard a Unicorns song before, and its killing me.
Title: Sorry to do this(Indietorrents)
Post by: Micolithe on 17 Dec 2005, 14:46: I'll trade a Demonoid invite for an IT invite.

EDIT: Please stop asking for invites via PM's. I never check them. Use my e-mail.

I'm assuming that you have the Demonoid Invite, correct? Otherwise I can take you up, but I get confused.

Indietorrents is run by jerks. I like OiNK better.
Title: Sorry to do this(Indietorrents)
Post by: Kai on 17 Dec 2005, 20:05: Does OiNK stand for something? Why is ithe NK capitalized?

Title: Sorry to do this(Indietorrents)
Post by: Spartan Pho3nix on 17 Dec 2005, 23:59: Lol. If OinK's better, can anyone here hook me up with an invite, plz? It'd be MUCH appreciated.

Yeah, I do. They tend to hand out invites like candy when you maintain a 2.31 ratio. PM sent.
Title: Sorry to do this(Indietorrents)
Post by: Kai on 18 Dec 2005, 10:53: I already have demonoid account, So hand it off to somebody else, or do whatever you wanna do with it.

But damn, 2.31? How do you keep that up? I'm struggling to keep 1.

Most of it is residual from when the live 8 videos came out. I was seeding the Pink Floyd and The Who videos for two weeks straight
Title: Sorry to do this(Indietorrents)
Post by: Kai on 18 Dec 2005, 11:29: ah. When I first joined, I downlaoded alot, and left it overnight, thinking what I was seeding (some albums I had put up) would upload, and they uploaded nearely nothing ,adn I downloaded a good mess of stuff; so basically, I was fucked realyl bad from the beginning. I went from the basic 1 that you start with to a .09. I've since brought it back up, but that was a scare.

Post by: Spartan Pho3nix on 18 Dec 2005, 13:05: Mico - can I have one too, please?
Title: Sorry to do this(Indietorrents)

Post by: theenginedriver on 18 Dec 2005, 16:42: so... what exactly is indie torrents?
Title: Sorry to do this(Indietorrents)
Post by: Kai on 18 Dec 2005, 18:20: Torrents of indie things, I presume.
Title: Sorry to do this(Indietorrents)
Post by: pat101 on 18 Dec 2005, 22:03: yeah I'm on it, it's OK. I mean nothing amazing. There's still a lot of stuff I can't find, but it's true about the people running it being jerks. I can't help it that I'm a total dumbass when it comes to computers.
Title: Sorry to do this(Indietorrents)
Post by: Vannav on 19 Dec 2005, 14:42: I would also love any invites you have to give... thanks so much!

Still looking, demonoid or indietorrents would be better than what I use.

I used this to find the new Eels album <3
Title: Sorry to do this(Indietorrents)
Post by: Kai on 24 Dec 2005, 06:27: It's fairly easy to get on Demonoid; my friend got on the first time het went there and just registered. Is it random timing or something? EIther way, I'll see if they'll make me another invite or two.
Title: Sorry to do this(Indietorrents)
Post by: Vannav on 30 Dec 2005, 13:36: I actually just spent a day working on it, and managed to gain entry to both Demonoid and OiNK. Demonoid was wide open as of yesterday, just sign up as you please. OiNK just took some commitment. I spent half an hour in their IRC channel for invites, and they were playing games and giving them away. It was really no big deal, just go to their site (oink.me.uk) and they give you all the info you need to join the channel and start up.

Now, if only I hadn't ruined my ratio in the first 3 minutes...
Title: Sorry to do this(Indietorrents)
Post by: Kai on 30 Dec 2005, 14:42: Everybody seems to ruin it on first entry to any torrent site.
Title: Sorry to do this(Indietorrents)
Post by: ozphactor on 30 Dec 2005, 14:47: I very rarely use BitTorrent anymore. Find a couple of music blogs or forums that are to your taste, and you're all set. I get more than enough new music that way to keep me satisfied. Plus, it's virtually risk-free.
Title: Sorry to do this(Indietorrents)
Post by: Spartan Pho3nix on 05 Jan 2006, 18:05: I signed up for oink and about a week later they started their christmas promotion. I had a 11. share ratio for a while (750 mb downloaded like 8.5 gigs up).
Title: Sorry to do this(Indietorrents)
Post by: JLM on 05 Jan 2006, 18:29: I've got a few indietorrents invites if anyone wants them. I only ask two things:

1) You know how to open the ports on your firewall (if you have one), or at least are willing to do it/learn how to do it, and

2) You are 100% responsible for your own computer and internet service, including all bills, equipment, etc.

Please PM me with requests.

Thanks.
Title: Demoniod or TorrentLeech
Post by: ratio on 26 Feb 2006, 07:03: I would like a Demoniod or TorrentLeech invite if anyone as any to give away. Thank You!

soulseek (http://www.slsknet.org) for all your obscure music needs, no invites req

Was going to rave about slsk but you beat me to it.
Anyhow - I love using it, exept when it goes all crashy, but that dosnt happen often.

PM me your user name, we'll share and stuff.
anybody else uses soulseek?
Title: Sorry to do this(Indietorrents)
Post by: Kai on 26 Feb 2006, 14:37: I've been using DC++ for the past few months and it's totally beat out BitTorrent 8-9 times over in terms of getting the more obscure stuff I want.
Title: Sorry to do this(Indietorrents)
Post by: MilkmanDan on 26 Feb 2006, 15:05: DC++ is like bittorrent in that using the software is not the important part. It's all about the trackers/hubs you use. Find a good one and both are pretty awesome.
In other news, OiNK > IndieTorrents any day.
Title: Sorry to do this(Indietorrents)
Post by: Spartan Pho3nix on 26 Feb 2006, 15:40: Torrents are much better than soulseek. Faster and easier to find stuff.
Title: Sorry to do this(Indietorrents)
Post by: Rubby on 27 Feb 2006, 11:28: I'll give someone an IndieTorrents invite if they have an OiNK invite for me. And also, as was mentioned before you have to understand port forwarding and router settings and whatnot, and if you dont, read up on it before trying to download/upload.
