Spiffy! Help!

I was on the OiNK forums, and I accidentally downloaded more music than i expected (I thought a Stephen King audio book was one book...not a collection of EVERY Stephen King audio book).

Anyways, I'm now at 5.22GB, and I'm seeding all of my torrents, but nobody is uploading them. So now I have about 10 days to pray that an entire GB of music is uploaded from me, or I get booted.

What do you suggest I do?

[QUOTE=HELLonWHEELS;13334819]It would probably look great but is it worth it. I mean a used Roscoe would only be a couple hundred dollars more.[/QUOTE]

You know how to pull my strings don't you? :lol: Personally, I can't see you ending up with anything better than a Roscoe... but then again, Roscoes are my favorite basses of all time.


I bet you could get a used roscoe for less than that anyways?

Hook me up and I'll work on the downloading part. Problem solved.

Awesome story... goddamn morons, though! I love it!


And no, I missed that on Colbert... damn.[/QUOTE]

It was funny, he made fun of his music, then showed a video of Stephen ****ing up on a saxophone. I need more of Zorn's albums.

I love Roscoe's, the thing is that if i get a Roscoe it would have to a 6er i can't see my self being content with a 5. One thing is for sure, it would need a spalted purpleheart neck

Whoops!

First of all, I'd recommend you be more careful and pay attention to what you download. Second, you should probably search for something that a lot of people are downloading but with as few seeders as possible, download, then seed. Third, I'd recommend probably emailing someone in charge there and see if they can cut you some slack while you try and fix your ratio.

I still need to get that one to you... :upset:


Sorry that I haven't yet. It will come...

It's not actually spalted btw...


But try to get one with a Spanish Cedar back... omgsecks.

I really hope I can pick up a sweet bass while I'm away.

:wave:

Yeah. I don't even know how I missed the sizes or the titles of both torrents.

"Stephen King Audio Book Collection" - 28.97GB
"Foreign Language Collection (36 Languages)" - 18.02GB

I am so dumb. I deleted them as soon as I noticed, but that was apparently too late.

So basically it counts what you've downloaded even if you abort the download part of the way through? It must because under what I've "snatched," it only adds up to about 1.7GB.

The Spanish Cedar looks nice, but the Swamp Ash better for me tonnally. BTW i know its not spalted its just what they call i remeber going over this a couple weeks ago

Hmm...

Well, if a torrent has more than what I want to download, I only download the parts that I want. It counts what you download.

I feel like I should be doing something. Gah I hate when I miss a day of school, I feel so behind.

It's just math too. I have a law test thursday, but it's cake. Marketing is a joke, and I should get a crazy good mark on my assignment. Media Studies is also really easy, last class, he was talking about the best selling p[size=2]o[/size]rno's of all time :lol:

So yeah, just bloody math. God, I hate it. :angry:

Put the ash on top.

Uggh. I suck.

If you'd like to leech something from me, I recommend this:
[url]http://oink.me.uk/details.php?id=803573[/url]

It's awesome.

In the meantime, I guess I'll take your advice and download stuff with lots of leechers and few seeders.

Damnit, I don't want to be kicked out because I can't read.

OiNK sounds really elitst. Why are they so picky about how much you download?

Only Pat Metheny is cool enough to use an instrument so ugly.

That thing is insane..

It IS elitist. You have to be invited to join.

They want you to have a good upload/download ratio, which I have royally f**ked up for myself.

My ratio is .012, and I have to be at .25 in a matter of 10 days.

AHH!!

[QUOTE=DaveSavesTheDay;13334994]OiNK sounds really elitst. Why are they so picky about how much you download?

Because it's about sharing, not being a leech.

You download something, you upload something. Is that really so bad?

^ No :upset:

Is there good files atleast?

-Dave

[QUOTE=Thonk;13335020]That thing is insane..[/QUOTE]

I know. I love the sound it makes, though.

I played my SG for the first time in, like, 2 months. It was kinda weird.

[QUOTE=DaveSavesTheDay;13335029]^ No :upset:

-Dave[/QUOTE]

Everyone on there is obsessed. You can't upload music at less than 192kb/s. And you'll find just about any music you're ever looking for.

There's everything.

Spiff, I don't think it helped my case that a bunch of my torrents have failed, whatever that means.

I am only leeching like, half of what I've downloaded because BitTorrent has done this to me:

I think that means that I'm f**ked and have to re-download or something.

Hmm, I don't use BitTorrent, I use UTorrent.

Either way, I say contact them at Oink and tell them what happened, how you accidentally messed up, see if they can help you out. It can't hurt to try.

True. Admins or Mods? I don't know which will be more forgiving.

Probably an admin.

So Spiffy, how was the RHCP concert? Just curious, since that'll be me in two nights.
