So if you were a user there, what steps should you now be taking?

For all of you who had big buffers it must feel even worse. It's very hard to upload - it takes time. This is very sad news.
Recently, my ratio wasn't too good at OiNK, but I've downloaded more than 200 GB mp3s from OiNK and got what I wanted, but this really sucks. The scary part is that no other tracker is anywhere near as valuable and offering as good material as OiNK. NO OTHER. OiNK's value is ten times bigger than FTN, E****, ScT and UK-T together.

OiNK was the world's biggest recordstore where you could get anything you want for free. It's sounds too good to be true...and so it was...

I think the guys with the buffer shouldnt put many time in thinking their buffer gone but thinking that their the first or second ring to be invastigated :S, and if in a country like US or UK I wouldnt mind much about my buffer being gone

So if you were a user there, what steps should you now be taking?

if you're scared then wipe all logs, burn computer and hide into cellar. if not, find some other torrent site and upload all your oink stuff there

Ali-g, you're saying that people in UK and US could really get in trouble? What about people in the scandinavia? And who will they care about, people uploading a lot or people downloading a lot?

It's the pre-releases that got them in trouble. I loved the site for their out-of-print collections.
