too bad it's not really that good of a site to actually get stuff from.

not that i don't admire their stoicism.

4chan is back up

I have a dilemma. OiNK is gone, and I have tons of great quality music that I want to share (partly for altruistic reasons, partly in hopes people reciprocate).

However, I can't decide whether I should start uploading to one of the alternative private sites that are gaining momentum, or onto a public tracker. I like the fact that unlike a private site, public torrents can't be taken down (not if they list backup trackers, and are posted on a bunch of different sites). But I worry that if I go the public route people will just hit-n-run and it'll all have been for naught.

Also, I have so much fucking music. I have no idea where to start.

4-ch, help me figure this out.

Hey, I'm still getting IsoHunt, and I'm in the US.

The site's not restricted, only their trackers Torrentbox and Podtropolis are.

By "hit 'n run" you mean people will download and will not share later?
That's people nature. You can't expect people to always behave in an altruistic way. You can only hope for the best, and hope for a few to also share later. Go public.

And start with what you like the most ; )

Yeah that is what I mean. I don't mind terribly, except when all seeds disappear and the torrent becomes impossible to get. This has happened on some of my public torrents. Then it's like, Why did I bother?

Probably good advice. I think I may alternate between TPB and a certain promising Russian (private) tracker.
