What so good about waffles

I didn't like Waffles, I think What.CD is much better.

How rear my dear?

"Rear" (I presume you meant rare) as in alternative.

It's subjective. I meant it as in music that isn't common, in my opinion.

Just an aside here,whats the reason for running trackers that are such a bitch to seed,with or without a seedbox?whats the pleasure in that?
I just wish these trackers did more to encourage genuine leeching...like go ratioless or something...now i got a .02 ratio that wont go away,for one week now and thats with a seedbox on what.cd over a very regretable 7gig mistake,i was almost going for the 18..

Whether Waffles's selection of music is better or not is a matter of taste, but they definitely don't have a larger selection since What have more ALBUMS than Waffles have torrents.

apparently some1 missed or didnt take advantage of the FL a few days ago, one of my mates did 200gb during that 24 hours FL, with a seedbox obviously. get on the right torrents and you might be able to make a lifetime buffer in no time. go for the big torrents with fast uploaders(NOT GBit uploaders) during FL. same strategy for what too. good luck.

You're right, I hadn't realized that. What's catalogue has grown much faster than Waffles and is pretty much on the same level as far as I'm concerned.

Other points: What has twice as many member accounts as Waffles (92K vs. 46K). Both have very low seeder-to-leecher ratios (35-to-1) and can be difficult to seed and maintain good ratio (seed everything for as long as possible). More freeleeches at either one would be great.
