- AngelBunny, on 05/15/2009, -1/+36I miss oink. :(
I miss their cute theme. It was home away from home. - insky60, on 05/16/2009, -2/+21*sigh*
Demonoid, you're no substitute for OiNK. - shoff88, on 05/16/2009, -2/+20Some friends and I were just talking about how awesome OiNK was the other day... I can never find good FLAC files anymore
- scootinger, on 05/16/2009, -2/+13What.cd isn't that difficult to get into...they have an IRC invite giveaway channel where they'll give you an invite if you can show you have a decent knowledge of codec formats and the like.
- CosyCat, on 05/16/2009, -4/+15better than oink is what.cd
- Ragzouken, on 05/16/2009, -1/+8People are digging you down because they have no idea what you're on about.
- inactive, on 05/16/2009, -2/+9“conspiracy to defraud” This is what the RIAA should be charged with.
- albatrossSKY, on 05/16/2009, -1/+8how could you find oink but not the 2 sites that spawned from it? one of which is better and bigger than oink ever was
- Kuci06, on 05/16/2009, -4/+10Waffles.fm? What.CD? Impossible to get in ;_;
anyone with an invite? - Shuk, on 05/16/2009, -0/+6You can get what.CD from doing an mIRC interview. Do some googling to find out the channel.
- plaxx, on 05/16/2009, -1/+7Insufficient evidence. They've got nothing on them!
- bleaked, on 05/16/2009, -1/+6what.cd has easily surpassed oink in that arena.
- waydee, on 05/16/2009, -0/+5You forgot about the other one.
Private trackers work because sharing is a requirement, makes for pretty consistent high speeds and creates an incentive to expand the selection available. The users of the private music torrent sites tend to be pretty serious about their music also, I'm not sure why you think otherwise - lots of members dedicate a lot of their time sourcing releases, making lossless copies and recording vinyl to share it with a community that cares. If these sites were wide open standards of quality would drop, people would leech and the almost inevitable response by the law would come about sooner. Widespread availability has never been a good thing when it comes to filesharing, all it does is attract unwelcome attention.
If you want to join in it's a simple process to do so. - renegadeafk, on 05/16/2009, -0/+5use google, you can find the irc channel to get an interview for an invite.
- boomerang42, on 05/16/2009, -0/+4***** THE RIAA
- tkeajax, on 05/16/2009, -0/+4Longest trial EVAH.
- yfph, on 05/16/2009, -0/+4@friggatry: "the people who really care about the material being shared are unable to gain access to it"
You mean like leechers? - alexmuller, on 05/16/2009, -0/+4Beyond stupid. How is it fair to arrest, charge and attempt to prosecute somebody, and then leave it hanging over their head for a year?
- KrazyGamerHead, on 05/16/2009, -1/+5RIP OiNK
Long Live What.cd! - bbliss17, on 05/16/2009, -0/+3Lol what.cd is much better than oink ever was.
- Travelsonic, on 05/16/2009, -0/+3Here's hoping for a fair trial.
- x713, on 05/16/2009, -0/+3They are probably delaying it to get the laws they want passed when prosecuting.
- evanman69, on 05/16/2009, -0/+1***** off.
- bro2baseball, on 05/16/2009, -0/+2With about half an hour of preparation, you can get an invite from their IRC.
I did it myself. It just takes a little work that some people may not want to do.
Here is a good starting point. http://www.paulspoerry.com/2008/06/02/how-to-get-a ... - bbliss17, on 05/16/2009, -0/+2Yeah what.cd is way better already.
Don't get me wrong oink paved the way for private trackers but others have rose up and are better. - macbookcoard, on 05/16/2009, -3/+5what.cd has replaced it twofold. sorry to burst your OiNK bubble
- CrazySpaniard, on 05/17/2009, -0/+2I guess they still haven't made up anything to charge him with.
- southwind19, on 05/16/2009, -0/+1OiNK had a good ring to it,,,,, we miss you
- dsmx, on 05/16/2009, -0/+1Yep because the only thing linking them was an IP address and as anyone with any knowledge on the internet IP address can be forged and changed almost at will so it's hardly proof.
- insky60, on 05/16/2009, -1/+2Your welcome for all the "Deluxe" Cure albums.
...in FLAC that is - localzuk, on 05/16/2009, -0/+1It isn't. Cases have been overturned on appeal due to this very tactic.
- renegadeafk, on 05/16/2009, -1/+2lol
- HerrSchnuff, on 05/16/2009, -1/+2public giveaways are forbidden, reconsider or enjoy your bann/warning
- itsmikey, on 05/16/2009, -2/+3I need to get back on these private trackers. OiNK was the *****.
Somebody invite me I have 750+ gigs of music to share. - rpgmakr, on 05/16/2009, -3/+3Same here.
- GrandMaster, on 05/16/2009, -3/+2you guys need to shut up about those sites. before they demise too. bastards.
- bluesatin, on 05/16/2009, -0/+0I don't know how good the place was, but someone recommended http://coda.fm/ to me.
- roastedbagel, on 05/16/2009, -3/+3RIP OiNK
No one can ever replace you :( - Hybred1234, on 05/16/2009, -6/+6So.. anyone have a what.cd invite? :D
- XxEric03xX, on 05/16/2009, -4/+4Impossible to get in? Only if you're a noob. If you can't find an invite you don't deserve to get in. Just look harder.
- evanman69, on 05/16/2009, -0/+0same here.
- ultimathule, on 05/16/2009, -1/+1I'd like an invitation to What.cd if anyone can spare one.
- CrazySpaniard, on 05/17/2009, -1/+1what.cd is definitely better than OiNK ever was
- bbliss17, on 05/16/2009, -1/+1What.cd is 10 times better than oink was and is only getting better every day.
- dacoinc, on 05/17/2009, -0/+0The UK doesn't have the right to a speedy trial?
- BigFish277, on 05/17/2009, -0/+0They need to get this thing started already
http://www.digitalraider.net - Culyt, on 05/17/2009, -1/+1I managed to get a what.cd invite only to get banned a few days later, I downloaded like 50mb from a few well seeded files (The kind you have basically no chance of ever uploading anything to any other peers let alone a 1:1 ratio) then lost my Internet connection for a few days.
Those sites may be cool but are way to restrictive and elitist. It would be nice if they had some mirror trackers for the general pop with horrible seeds but then many wouldn't bother with the main stuff. They are also a giant target for legal action with being a source of leaks and whatnot. 1:1 ratios aren't really required for BT to work anyway.
If you have access to some decent content upload it for all to enjoy. -
