The second time I downloaded maybe 6 or 7 albums, then got booted three days later. Then when I tried to get back on, they'd just changed it to "invite only".
Then I didn't care for months, but a few days ago I went on their chat and was eventually given an invite. I downloaded about 6 albums, and seeded every one of them for days afterwards.
Non I find I've just been booted again. You know what ? Fuck OINK, man. They don't even really have any more stuff than any other torrent site does. In fact, they have less !
The only thing OINK has going for it is -
1) Speed2) Being pretentious
For everybody that is scrambling to get an OINK invite, trust me, don't bother. Try Torrent Reactor, Mininova or Torrent Spy instead. They're much better, have more selection and aren't elitist assholes.

The best advice I can give is, as mentioned above, make sure you're using a bug-free client. Likewise, stay as anonymous as possible. The less attention you draw to yourself, the more likely you can come and go as you please.

Be pretentious, and elitest is not always a bad thing.

I.e. you can get banned for seeding ANYTHING under 192kbps rates, no matter how rare.
They don't even really have any more stuff than any other torrent site does. In fact, they have less !
This isn't true. You can often find ENTIRE back catalogues of labels - such as Kompakt, Hugg & Pepp, Areal - name me one other tracker where you'll find that?
― Chewshabadoo (Chewshabadoo), Monday, 5 September 2005 10:16 (twenty years ago)
,,, Then why keep going back to it and then bitching about it once your upload ratio is shite? If you decide once again that it is worth it, try uploading a bunch of stuff in the beginning to build your ratio up, then start DLing stuff. If you've got nothing to upload, then maybe OiNK isn't the place for you anyway.

And yes, they do have good back catalogue, but what I meant by them not having much more was that (for example) when the new Kanye leaked, you could download it from any torrent site. Same with most new leaked albums. In addition, you can download movies, music videos, etc from other torrent sites, but not from OINK.
Rest assured, I won't be going back there. It seemed like such a mythical downloading haven, but eberything I searched for they either didn't have, or I could get it anywhere else (and did, for fear of getting booted for getting it from them). I was downloading from OINK as a last resort, and in the end, it didn't really matter all that much.
Meh, sour grapes

Like I said, you've got to upload, not just seed stuff you've downloaded.
"when the new Kanye leaked, you could download it from any torrent site. "
One reason I like getting my music from OiNK and not other torrent sites is that the sound quality is always above par. That and I never have to worry about DLing a bunk copy of an album - that stuff get weeded out very quickly.
Somtimes the 192kbps thing is a little irritating, and it not having video stuff is a drawback, but I've had nothing but good experiences w/ OiNK.

Between the 24th of December and the 1st of January GMT (inclusive), downloading will not affect your share ratio in any way.
We will still be recording uploaded amounts, but ignoring downloaded.
This is great. Get what you can, and get those ratios up. I've been getting some things I normally wouldn't get because I've been trying to maintain a good share ratio.

OiNK.me.uk is temporarily offline (both site and tracker).
When the site returns, sadly there will be some data loss, possibly substantial. While we realise this will be a major inconvenience, it is the best we can do. We're sorry for the downtime but please bear with us.
stick that in your pipe and smoke everyone who has been a dick about oink...you know who you are!!!!
