OiNK RIP, from Jay Humbert
OiNK was the best torrent site for music, bar none. Anything that couldn't be found on the other sites (Mininova, Pirate Bay, Demonoid), could almost always be found on OiNK. Plus the standards at OiNK for quality were top-notch — nothing under 192 allowed, no mixes, no reposting. The staff was ultra-strict regarding ratios — it took me a month of focused work to get my ratio right and secure a "power user" account.
