Oink problem..help needed

[funkymonkey4ever]

I'll be shifting to an ISP which uses a dynamic IP instead of a static IP. Since oink have a policy of accepting only 3 IPs per session, I'd like to know if I'd get banned even before I knew what the problem was - My friend got banned with the same ISP and he doesn't know what the problem was. Can anyone help me?

Don't quote me on this, but I believe the IP limit applies only to simultaneous connections. If you log out of the website and stop OiNK torrents on the old ISP, I see absolutely no reason why you would get banned after switching over. Plus, simply because your new ISP uses dynamic IP instead of static doesn't mean your IP address will be changing every three seconds - it should only obtain a new IP when it requests one, such as when you power cycle your modem.

As long as you're only actively using the account on one computer at a time, you should be perfectly fine.

i will add that dynamic ip always change within a range they can easily know that it is the same connection with dynamic ip as there will a little difference every time ur ip changes

My ISP also uses dynamic ip and I have had no problems using oink with it.

As I understand it, the tracker only supports 3 IP's per torrent session. So if you are downloading/uploading a torrent and you are connected to the tracker and switch IP's 4 times then you would have a problem. So as long as you finish and remove any torrents in your client before you have switched IP's 3 times you should be fine.
