    they no longer reject applicants on the basis of speedtest. YOu should concentrate on getting teh basic questions right, instead.

    Interviewer could ask for speedtests, but he wont deny you an invite solely on the basis of low upload speeds.
    As far as questions are concerned, read about encoding, transcoding, bitrates, MP3 encoding presets, lossless, lossy formats for starters.

    Firstly, your name is "whatcdfan", but you aren't a member of that tracker?

    Secondly, it's like n00bz0r said. They'll ask you for a speedtest and maybe profile links from other tracker, but they won't deny entry to people with sucky upload speeds, otherwise most wouldn't get in through the interview. Read this thoroughly, and if you still have questions, they have a dedicated channel for that:

    If you feel have a pretty solid knowledge of ripping and encoding then just look over anon's link (http://www.whatinterviewprep.com/) and take the test. The hardest part is waiting around to take the interview, the actual test is easy if you know your stuff.

    Cool story, bro!
    I'm back. The downside is that I'm also old now.
