i got mine quick when i asked. i wish i could figure out how to get my ratio up to 1 so i can spread the love
- Jaline0
Just donate some money like I did :)
After this, I finally got my act together and started seeding more often (my ratio wasn't low enough to get banned but it wasn't that good).
I'd be way over a ratio of 1 if I didn't get a new computer.

some tips on oink to get better ratio:
- watch the newly added torrents like a hawk. anything released in 2007 that's not terrible music will have tons of seeds really fast. if you can catch it when it's first released, jump on it and your ratio will go way up (10 leechers or less is good)
- feist's latest album has seeded 13 times for me
- and pimsleur language software - grab a couple really common languages like french/japanese or something. really good for the ratio.
i think i have 3.8 ratio now. LOVE that site :)

^ what MONEYCIDE said.
If you're going by facts, yes, it is illegal to download this stuff (in some countries anyway).
But there are statistics to prove that many companies are still making lots of money. Also, a lot of Oink users make their own torrents out of music they bought. I have made files to seed by purchasing albums I couldn't find anywhere else.

torrents are crazy. im on oink but i always download ebooks that no one else downloads..thus..im fucked.
- Jaline0
There is one site that I used to be a part of that specializes in e-books. Can't remember its name anymore. I'm pretty sure my account has expired there though, since it was useless to me.

whats oink?
i refused 3-4 invites
- M0NEYCIDE0
yeah exactly I've yet to be convinced by the RIAA or anyone that I'm a criminal for downloading ripped music.
- Jaline0
Oink.cd = best music torrent site ever
- MrD0
so this a place where you steal music?
- Jaline0
What's crappy about Oink is that they're strict and very specific about which clients you can use. Actually, this is probably a good thing, but it's frustrating. I use Transmission just for Oink downloading and seeding, and xTorrent for everything else (b/c it's really fast).
- Jaline0
Yes, but you can only stay a member for so long if you don't seed enough.
- MrD0
so you upload stolen music to get more stolen music
- MrD0
So, what you are saying is that if someone makes a lot of money, its ok to take stuff from them.
I dont know...
I just think that if you are in the creative industry, i think you should take care of intellectual property of others rather they make loads of money or not.
- Jaline0
Precisely.
- M0NEYCIDE0
it's called file SHARING for a reason.
- cphunk0
added you jaline. now we can steal music together.
