The tracker isn't down, the DNS is just screwed up somehow.
If you want a torrent from oink or just want to keep seeding, just....
- close your torrent program
- add 85.17.40.69 tracker.oink.me.uk to your windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file
- start->run->ipconfig /flushdns
- restart your torrent program
Easy.
thank u very much for this tip, never got into my mind
