Oink folk are impatient arses

[cheapprick]

So I got an invite from someone kind enough to give it.

I downloaded 3 torrents of a little less popular nature. I realized that nobody was uploading them from me and inquired here as to what to do. It was suggested that I upload unique files to compensate and bring my ratio up. I searched around to find what I might call unique files.

In the meantime oink disabled my account. Elitist c*#+$..

The thing that annoys me most is that I got f' all from them because I didn't want to just keep downloading at a deficit.

I wonder if they can hear the sound of my zipper.

rather than badmouthing them, why not rectify the situation and speak to an admin who will re-activate your account in about 2 minutes providing your ratio is in a fixable state.

Usually you get 7 - 14 days trail period to bring your ratio close to 1.

Go here if you're interested.

It's obvious that it's a clash of cultures...the refined, elite, upper crust vs Saskatchewan.

Want a fresh invite?

Thank you no. I feel shitty enough about f'ing up the one I got. I hope I didn't make that person look bad.

Go back to your bridge Napho. There are people crossing without a toll in your absence. :P

i only go when im looking for something.

My ratio was around 45% and I got a warning, so I brought it up to 75% (my DL was only like 200MB as well)

so now im ok. good luck.

[kokanezub]

how long does oink give u to be inactive for?

[shawners]

I think its 7 days. The thing about it, being closed up. You dont have all the hit and runners that bring up your ratio so far.. People pick and choose what to download and what not to download. Make sure your connectable and not behind a firewall. It helps in uploading to peers who arent connectable. A friend i invited didnt download, but upload flac albums and have a high ratio without downloading anything. I guess when its high enough, hell start downloading.

Ill send you another invite in couple weeks when i get one.

I had the same happen but got it reinstated have to get my ratio up and was suggested that uploading some personal rips might help...

[thepuzzler]

Just upload in flac and download in mp3, I can usually get between 15 - 20 Downloads for Everyone 1 Upload.

I know how you feel on that. I grabbed a couple dl's... and chose poorly. Both of them are still below 50% on ratio.

I upped 3 or four cd's I had sitting around (EAC/LAME rip @ 320) that were just obscure enough to not already be there, and I am seeding those plus my orginal two downs. I have also grabbed the pitchfork for 2000's, and severly throttled the d/l so that the ratio will close in better.

If I didn't know better, I would say that even seeding has an heirarchy.

Anyway, I'm at .8 now, and hoping I can get it up to 1.0....
