    I'm torrent-savvy (I'm an ex-Unix Sys Admin). I built a linux box specifically for torrenting and media playing, so I can administer it remotely.

    Used to have a very large mp3 collection, roommate destroyed my drive (said the disk was "bad" because he tried to hook it up to his laptop with a USB cable and knew not what XFS was).

    I'm very old school. Don't like the Cowboys though. I gave up on NFL when the Oilers left. I'm a Longhorns fan.

    Used to belong to some good private torrent sites but they've all since been shut down. And I don't live in the US. My ISP could care less about what ports I use or what I download.

    Someone invite me. I have bandwidth.

    they got attacked last night which is messing up a lot of uploading... be sure to leave your client open. unfortunately i just closed mine a little while ago, so i'm pretty much screwed.

    I believe you can download up to 5 gigs before the ratio watch kicks in.

    Download a recently seeded audio book or discography and seed out. Those things sometimes take on a life of their own and speed up your upload ratio.

    Damnit, I always miss this.

    I'm a firm believer of keeping ratios up, and I'm desperate for an Oink invite. If anyone has one free come up, please let me know.

    C'mon man. Hook me up if you still have an Oink invite left. I'm experienced enough with torrents and have a good ratio at the sites I torrent from.

    Someone feel sorry for me already!

    :D

    Rokkit, Lynus...I'll get another two invites in the next couple of weeks. I'll bump the thread and send them to you guys.

    BTW- Rokkit- Do you have an email address that's not Hotmail? Oink don't play that game.

    Thanks, LonghornFan! This is pretty cool, even though I had to switch my BT client to Azureus because Transmission is banned. I wish uTorrent was available for the Mac.

    Hmmm, I might have to pull my old desktop PC out of the closet and set it up. I think uTorrent has a web interface. These seeding ratios ain't gonna cut it too well from my laptop.

    Really? I'm using hotmail and I can't find anything about not using it in their FAQ or rules.

    Do they turn down all net emails? Like gmail, for example? I think I have an old yahoo address.... I'll dig it up if so.

    Thanks, LonghornFan

    I never got my oink invite. I think it was DrewP who was trying to send it to me.

    Must be because it was a hotmail address.

    If anyone else has one they'd like to share, hit me up at Uprising3k@yahoo.com

    I have a really good s/d ratio on the other torrent sites I frequent.

    When you go to the invite page it says this: (we recommend against sending to a hotmail address, sometimes they just never arrive)
