The Pirate Bay To Bring Back OiNK
|

The Pirate Bay is currently working on an OiNK replacement in an attempt to bring the hundreds of thousands of music albums back online that disappeared during the raid. The replacement will be released within a week and on the BOiNK.cd domain.
BOiNK will be a little different from OiNK. For instance, the tracker will be public and it will start out with a lot less torrents than OiNK had when it was raided. The success of BOiNK will mainly depend on the former OiNK community, who will be asked to upload their old OiNK torrents.
The most important thing about BOiNK is perhaps the message it sends out to the IFPI and the BPI: It shows that that if you stop one tracker, others will pop up days after. It is a hydra. Call it a slap in the face if you want.
BOiNK will probably be ready in a few days. People from the Pirate Bay, Mininova, TorrentFreak and even the recently arrested (and released) OiNK admin are currently at The Oil of the 21st Century conference where they are - among other things - discussing filesharing, culture and copyright related issues.
BOiNK is a Pirate Bay only project, OiNK and other BitTorrent sites are not involved.
In the meantime, please stay away from scam sites that pretend to be related to OiNK.

No doubt, the quality control was the best aspect of oink, beside the speed, of course. :) |

| Quality assurance was the #1 reason why I loved oink. You could find thousands of albums in FLAC and such. |

one problem with a lot of things that are supposedly 192 are actually down converted 320's. i can say from my own experience that 192 straight from source is a bit more than just listenable. not saying its something that should ever be taken to the club but it doesnt sound horrid as a lot of people say. 320 is of course preferred for obvious reasons though.
oh and OiNK got raided about a month or so ago. it was all over everything. |

No, more like Tuesday.
Oink prohibited transcodes as well (320 to 192 for example) |
