What or Waffles?

[Seafood]

Hey I'm looking for a music tracker with good content, I already have STMusic but I was looking for another to add for extra selection. I am not really looking for speed.

Thanks, also have any of the two opened registrations?

[t0mmy]

waffles invites are enabled, what.cd still has to clean up its userbase, unless they are planning making it a larger limit :P

if i had to choose, id go with what.cd

[RoSsoNeRI]

Yeah I'd go with WHAT as well

[Seafood]

i see, thank you that is very helpful information.

Ok, I will try for what in the BT invite when I can enter it.

[krunktastic]

I would say waffles for purely aesthetic and quality reasons, as the torrents are definitely more accurately labeled at waffles. However, what.cd has an amazing forum, and more torrents to boot.

I'd go 50/50, though I spend more time on waffles.

If you are really into music i would try to get both as well.
They have some of the same content, but its offen im only able to find one album on one of them.

Would invite you to what, but the site limit has been reached. Go with what.

[xclued]

Well I'm a member of both, and I must say I like waffles a whole lot more.
They seem to have a lot more of the music im into (dnb, anyone invite me to a good dnb torrent site? I can invite you to waffles).

Anyway here are the stats from both might help you decide.

both good ...but what.cd is my favorite

[division]

Both, get both.

Waffles is slightly better, it looks nicer, has better labeled stuff.

If you want to find something obscure, I often have to search both of them before I find what I'm looking for. Both tend to have a great selection, so I'd recommend both to increase your coverage.

[tyman]

personally...with oink...I could only handle one because it is so hard to keep ratio (at least for me) I'd go with what

[Zelucifer]

Whichever one you can get an invite too. They're both great.

[Scavenger]

I love both sites, Don't know why, but I prefer Waffles. =)

[tusks]

I have both and I think Project Gazelle is really going to improve the chances that what comes out on top. In terms of content, the winner really depends on what your music tastes are. Waffles as of now has more categories to choose from but that may change over time.

[1000possibleclaws]

what.cd has the free leech on staff picks which is the main thing keeping my ratio high. I'm a new member at waffles and my ratio is still 0 because theres been no free leeches or anything to helpraise my ratio. what.cd is probably better if you don't have the time to upload alot of your own material, but they are both very good, and waffles is the only one thats open right now so just try and get in that for now :)

[grimms]

Waffles is better as far as flac releases and site design. What.cd is more friendlier though but a little more disorganized. Still prefer what more, but do find myself on waffles more.

Waffles had like 3 freeleech in the same month. You just missed out, but it is easier to seed at what.cd. I would suggest you uploading your own torrents vs seeding them to boost your ratio a bit.

[shygrrrl]

I find what much harder to seed - nobody downloads! - and to download - nobody seeds! Ridiculous. I've never had any trouble keeping a ratio or downloading at waffles.

Both are the best, though.

[whitmar]

They are both hard to seed unless the files are very popular in the community. You have to use free leech periods to increase your ratio. What.cd? is currently having free leeching on staff picks until midnight tonight GMT. So, shygrrrl, get over there and I'll seed them to you right now!

[information]

yeah, this two sites are sure best choice for getting music torrents.
really hard to chose better one from these sites. for me 50/50 :)

Plenty of threads on this already.
