Oink downloads will be showing red unless you have updated your host file becuase they are having DNS problems.

If only Oink torrents are the problem, try this:

Add the following lines to your \windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file (the number of spaces between the IP and the name doesn't matter as long as there's at least one space (or tab):

85.17.40.69 tracker.oink.me.uk
85.17.40.70 irc.oink.me.uk
85.17.40.71 oink.me.uk
