Oink pretty much epitomizes what you would expect from a dream music sharing site with an awesome community. Sure there were those with an elitist attitude but then again those personalities are all over the web.
It's a real pity. Oink was quality. Pure and simple. Over there you could expect a perfect FLAC or V0 rip, if there was a problem, request a fixed version. I've been with the site for a while and never had any problems at all. Sad day... sad day Oh well Jam it back in, in the dark.  |

1) Know how to upload torrents (You have a 5GB buffer to get good with). Easiest if you seed a brand new highly requested album. 2) Have music encoded at least at 192kbps. Anybody who listens to a wide range of music keenly will tell you that a bitrate below that just doesn't cut it. I can understand this being a bit of an argumentative issue about how significant a difference can be felt but as a baseline, 192kbps and above. Standard and safe. 3) No transcodes. You only need to worry about this if you're trying to upload really popular music and your mp3 album of it sounds grainy. A simple read through of the FAQ provided will show you how to 'analyze' it. No need to understand, just know how to tell if it's a transcode that's all. I'm gonna miss the site that's for sure. Never really interacted on the forums and their 'active' members, there but any visitor to the site will be able to say without a shot of a doubt, that that tracker oozed quality. There's nowhere I can't reach. |

TPB may start something worthwhile or it may not. Oink started out as a public tracker and eventually 'privitized'. Boink may accomplish something or it may not, just that now it has the TPB brand attached we'll see tons of people swarming it.
Heh I remember on Oct 23rd I was wondering why the vast majority of my seeded torrents were turning red in uTorrent. Thought it was another Oink tracker reset or something then visited the webpage and "Oh frak". This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
