I was going to say "worse :(" by Ray of Light 08/15/2006, 7:02pm PDT
And I was going to say that Oink is way more usable now than it was a year ago. BUT I went to check their front page just in case they secretly made the site worse while I wasn't looking. AND GUESS WHAT?!

Multi-album torrents are now not allowed on the site under any circumstances. That means no discographies, pitchfork compilations etc. Discographies make it a hassle for users to download individual albums and result in a lot of duplicate albums being uploaded.

All music torrents must be one release, so if an album is 2CDs, it is fine to upload that as a single torrent. However, uploading 2 or more different albums in one torrent is strictly forbidden. Greatest hits and best of compilations with several CDs are ok. Boxsets may be uploaded as one torrent so long as they do not contain any discs that are available as another individual release



Jesus Christ. Yeah, who wants to download the 500 albums in Pitchfork's Top 100 lists with 5 torrents, when you could simply go to their site, print out the list, then select those 500 torrents from oink and number them yourself?? After all, there's no guarantee that all of the albums inside are perfect. 100 albums = 100 times the chance of an imperfect one.
