BOINK.CD load testing and early boink torrent upload FORMER OINK MEMBERS ONLY
― jergïns, Tuesday, 30 October 2007 10:07 (sixteen years ago) link
I don't really cotton to this "oink members only stuff"--what's going on right now could be a tremendous opportunity for new people to get involved and start to appreciate flac etc., quality and dedication should be the criteria that helps select people for torrent communities, not screen caps and BS. As someone has already said somewhere else 'how many people were banned from oink every day?' because they couldn't toe the line. These same people can be banned anew wherever they turn up.
And Fourfoldvision, you are so totally otm about finding something so rare on oink that it was like your personal musical holy grail, the record that you thought you would never see, let alone hear in a good rip with the liner notes and everything. sigh.

If only people put as much energy into reshaping the music industry as they do into finding new ways to download illegally.

The Electronic Frontier Foundation confirmed the AP's findings with its own tests — including spotting forged messages sent by Comcast's computers to shut down connections.
This is stupid as hell if they want to maintain common carrier status, unless they're doing this to all torrent traffic. With quality of service crap you could list your policy on bandwidth allocation, but actually screwing with customers' connections by sending bad data is a shoddy business practice at best and malicious at worst.

will not be an Oink clone, but something completely different.
Where's the new less-incriminating software supporting this drastic change?

So w/r/t all the new multitudes of OiNK replacement sites cropping up everywhere, has anyone noticed a preponderance of jazz uploaders on any one of the new ones? I would be interested, from a purely academic point of view, to know if the bulk of that is going to one tracker or another. The enormous range of jazz on OiNK, e.g. Mosaic sets and RVG editions, always warmed my heart.
I mean, when my friend showed them to me. Because I didn't download them. *cough*
― doctorfunktronic, Wednesday, 31 October 2007 22:37 (sixteen years ago) link
It would be interesting to see a listing of all the albums that were available on OINK at the end. I hear people talking about the enormous range, but I'm curious just how vast it was.
― o. nate, Thursday, 1 November 2007 16:33 (sixteen years ago) link
there was never anything, no matter how obscure, that I couldn't find there, with enough seeders that it downloaded in a few minutes.

Wow, Trent's comments are actually some of the most sensible I've read so far about OiNK.

this was quite far from my experience and i don't think my tastes are particularly obscure.
― jed_, Thursday, 1 November 2007 21:50 (sixteen years ago) link
yeah, that's def an overstatement, but doesn't change the fact that it dwarfed the selection of any record shop, online or not
and the request system did work well enough for records not on the tracker, i had a new request filled about once or twice a week on average. interesting too, because the request system didn't run based on incentive like the ratio system
― lucas pine, Thursday, 1 November 2007 22:14 (sixteen years ago) link
Hmm ... I'm fairly sure Amazon offered a far bigger catalogue overall, even if OINK was more focussed on things I might want.

There was about 215000 torrents on oink, I think.

Dear registered user of the site What.cd,
We have recently been investigating the activities of the users of the site http://www.what.cd/ and we have found that this site exists for the sole purpose of music piracy.
Pirating music is a criminal offence and we believe it should be obvious to you that the results outweigh the benefits - hard working artists won't be rewarded for their work and will stop producing music, ultimately leading to a severely reduced selection of music both in the shops and for download.
The RIAA had hoped that the disabling by the police of the large illegal music site, Oink.cd, would stop a lot of people from engaging in piracy, as they don't want to be seen as criminals. However, this appears to not be the case, as two large new sites have sprung up in its place.
This email is the final warning to all of you who were members of Oink.cd and are current members of What.cd. If we find you to be committing any more criminal acts of piracy then we will have to press charges against you, as representatives of the major record companies of America.
Yours Faithfully,
The RIAA

That e-mail is fake as the day is long. They've been getting hacked by a 14 yr old kid who spoofed the e-mail to say r1aa.org (by the way, the real r1aa's domain is registered as a .com) and what.cd members should change their e-mails, passwords and passkeys.
― saudade, Monday, 12 November 2007 17:45 (sixteen years ago) link
days are actually really short now
― s1ocki, Monday, 12 November 2007 17:47 (sixteen years ago) link

― StanM, Monday, 12 November 2007 17:48 (sixteen years ago) link
I knew someone would say that days are short now!
But yes, the e-mails are very very fake. since when is the r1aa "faithfully yours"? They are not faithful.
