Oink invites

I have a lot of these. Someone take one, please. Familiarize yourself with torrents and port forwarding and don't cheat your ratio, or I lose 'em all.

I don't know what you're talking about, but I'm interested.

It is a filesharing (music and software mostly) community that uses bittorrent software. It has high standards for the quality of the mp3 etc. rips. It is kind of a silly place, but it's useful. Oh yeah, it's by invitation only, which is why I am trying to give these invites out.

I'm not familiar with Oink but I'm in.  I'm obsessive about mp3 quality and always keep at least a 1:1 ratio.

If anyone asked for one and hasn't received it yet, check your spam folder.

I'm on and trading now.

The community seems kinda small, though, which means that there aren't a lot of seeding opportunities to up my ratio.

It's a matter of timing. New, popular torrents obviously provide the most opportunity for upping. If you d/l on the back end of a torrent's life, then it's hard to upload.

The other thing is, there are some seeders on there that really get off on having a super-high ratio. Obviously they need to feed off people with low ratios to some extent, so it's hard to elbow your way in to establish yourself.

If it ends up not working out and you get banned for having a low ratio, no big deal. If that seems bound to happen, I might suggest going hog wild in the interim so at least you get some use out of it.

Here's a table of the ratio requirements, in case anyone missed them.

I just don't want to get you in "trouble" if I get banned for a bad ratio.  Two of my recent uploads are getting some traction, so I should be up to at least 1.0 by tomorrow, above which I'll stay.

All the arcane ratio rules at the torrent sites have basically scared me over to eMule. There it only matters that your upload is at least 10MB/s and that you aren't using a leecher client.

Yeah, there's no problem for me if one of my invitees gets banned. It's happened a couple times before. They only trouble is if I invite them again.
