log in and follow the instructions
I've been seeding all day, it seems to work fine

also if someone would invite me that would be cool. ive heard it rules, but never investigated 7/1/2007 11:34:11 PM |
StillFuchsia All American 18941 Posts user info edit post |
you don't just "get invites" when you get on the site
you sorta have to earn them (well, you have to have a good ratio and stuff)
so I don't even have any
not that I'd give them to you to begin with

you know, i'll admit i'm guilty of closing down the client when i shut down for the evening, and rarely open it back up unless im going to start another download...
but how can i know for sure (even with these "invite-only" tracker sites) that the MPAA/RIAA/etc. isn't on the other end of the line, writing down my IP address? what's to keep their agents from getting an invite?
and is bittorrent traffic encrypted? if so, does that depend on the tracker? because all this closed tracker stuff wouldn't even matter if your ISP can just watch what you're downloading... 7/2/2007 12:11:36 AM |

my client (bitlord) starts with the system, and i don't remove tasks when they're done. only "leech" habit i have, i do cap my upload b/w... just cause sometimes i'll mouseover the icon in the tray and its like

I, too, have more invites...and as far as the RIAA and all that goes, from what I understand the private tracker OiNK uses isn't nearly as visible as all the other torrent and P2P services out there so the likelihood that an individual in the OiNK network gets busted is virtually zero. But you know how liberally they use the "virtually" bomb these days...

no. the more publicity it gets, then the sooner its going to get shut down. 7/2/2007 4:31:34 PM |
paerabol All American 17116 Posts user info edit post |
this is true
but the more people there are, the more likely you are to find even the most obscure of the obscure 7/2/2007 4:35:30 PM |
sober46an3 All American 47925 Posts user info edit post |
true, but ive never had any problems finding anything and everything ive wanted on it.
i was surprised that it took people so long to really find out about it (i guess because its "invite only" thats helped). but as soon as it catches on all over college campuses (which it looks like its doing now) then its going to gain more and more attention...which will eventually be its demise.
so download as much as you can now while its still around. 7/2/2007 4:38:51 PM |

why is it going to get shut down so quickly, is it based in the US? TPB has been open for business a long time... 7/2/2007 4:53:51 PM |
sober46an3 All American 47925 Posts user info edit post |
its been around for a long time because its been kept relatively underground for so long.
im not saying that its going to get shut down tomorrow, but ive seen a recent surge in the number of people who know about it and use it. it used to be somewhat of a challenge to get invites...now they hand them out left and right.
all im saying is that the more attention it gets, then the more people know about it who would want it shut down. 7/2/2007 4:59:06 PM |

I reeeally don't want to re-dl all my torrents, can I not just go through and update the tracker in uTorrent for the .cd domain on all the torrents I'm seeding? I've read around on the forums but havent gotten a real definitive answer... 7/3/2007 11:27:56 AM |

my biggest problem is finding stuff to upload that they dont already have on their site lol 7/3/2007 12:03:05 PM |
legatic All American 7481 Posts user info edit post |
^they're also really strict about the quality of uploads, so I'm not even going to bother to try
just leave the torrents you download open forever. and ever. and ever. and you'll be fine 7/3/2007 12:10:36 PM |

that worked when the site was broken, but now it's moving to oink.cd
I just reseeded all my shit through the .cd site (I didn't redownload it), so hopefully that'll work

well, it works both ways
they're really picky about what they let people upload, but that means any torrent you get from that site is going to be quality stuff 7/3/2007 12:14:30 PM |
legatic All American 7481 Posts user info edit post |
^^ updating your hosts file means your computer doesn't even check with the DNS servers, it just goes straight to the IP in your hosts file
even if oink.me.uk didn't exist, never existed, whatever, if you have that in your hosts file your computer will recognize it and just use the ip there
long story short, if it's in the host file, it's just as good as using the IP directly
