What.CD and freeleech

[flashback3r]

Hi, I would guess this has been up before and I'm sorry if it has...

But the question is, how much freeleech does what.cd have? And when in case they have?

Tell me when it has occurred ^^

[Sanka113]

They have freeleech on their what.cd compilations 24/7. As far as sitewide FL goes, it's completely random.

[1000possibleclaws]

I would say it's freeleech on special occasions such as christmas and the site's anniversary. It's not completely random..

Why you want FL only for buffer or upload? Eveyone has seedbox nowdays especailly after varsbox and whatbox events so if you dont have seedbox this doenst make any sense ...
I am nearly 1 year old member at there and i only got 2 or 3 times FL also didnt notice one of it...
PS: if you have ratio problem look other members seeding files you can easyly see over 800 file seeding ppl from home...Dont need to talk about "one" of them huh 20k upload and 18k still seeding and just nearly 2 tb upload so if you have a problem think twice and he/she seeding all files from seedbox...
then what.cd is really hard one!
edit
Generally FL coming some special days and it's really unique this can be about a holiday or tracker stats maybe they can get one when they reach 100k member huh who can know? for now nearly 88k member enabled...

[imapotato]

Not less than once a year but probably not more than, say, 3-4 times a year.

@RedRansom: Not everyone does have a seedbox nowadays, I don't know the actual numbers but I can't imagine it being more than half. It's not that hard to get a decent ratio on what.cd and freeleech periods definitely help a lot.

No offense, but that's complete nonsense. :blink:

More often than not its having a seedbox that doesn't make any sense, not the other way round. Access to p2p shouldn't be dependant on your ability to pay for a phat connection, just on your willingness to share to the best of your ability. Anyway, if everyone had a seedbox, nobody would be able to build up the massive buffers they (inexplicably) do with boxes, it just wouldn't be mathematically possible.

Jeez, its no surprise the torrent scene is so messed up these days with prevailing attitudes like that. :(

[RedRansom]

:ermm:
I just made a generalization for example:bit-hdtv is one of my seldom usage tracker and last week there was a quarantina 1080p from one of them internal group there was a 1 seeder and 80 leecher when i start to download i saw there are nearly 60 seedbox in it and this come mean of %75 with a basic calc...
at the other hand i am using some scene 0day trackers and dont need to talk about them cuz ppl trying to buffer accounts like crazy!look normal a pack...(and seedbox is all good for if you dont want to keep your pc 7/24 open but generaly some ppl just renting monthly and getting some buffer honestly i dont think this member really help the tracker!)
sure if you're talking about eztv or mininova releases i didnt see any seedbox but in private tracker ppl usage nearly %75 at least this is what i saw my own tracker list...
lastly look varsbox or whatbox page ar what.cd there are over 100 post nearly every week or day exactly not remembering but this two name really so populer at these days...
Maybe i will do a research for this and can post statistics...
sorry for off topic

Dont really get what u r trying to say in your post, but i do not have the greatest connection but what i find is one of the easiest places for me to seed on, and during freeleach it goes right up.

[colbert]

The trick on a site like What is to seed lots of files 24/7 from your home connection. That way you're always uploading something and even at slow speeds it adds up.

[Col. Skillz]

Yup, what has some freeleech at xmas for sure. It was freeleech on all new torrents though, not sidewide.

[harshytkage]

not everyone has a seedbox, i mean, not all of us have a seedbox, now going on a rant just about that without any material proof is quite pointless :unsure:

[Lovestoned]

You shouldn't count on just freeleech to get what you want.

Follow colbert's advise as it has worked for me too.

[Skiz]

What are "what.cd compilations"?

[Funkin']

If you're asking about freeleech because your ratio is too close to 1.0 and you want to buffer it a little, what has worked for me on both What and Waffles(and also what I used to do at OiNK) is to focus on the comic section. Just about every single newly uploaded comic gets activity(especially the excellent weekly DCP and Minuteman packs), so jump on them as soon as they hit. Also upload comics that aren't already on the tracker. You'll have a buffer in no time.

[Rigel9]

Or you could upload some big video tutorials – CS4, etc...

[Lovestoned]

What.CD volume 1, 2 and 3.

Over 9000 seeders there so you wouldn't even get a buffer.

Staff picks are FL too, sitewide FL is never random.

Like what some other posts have said, it's when either they reach a real milestone or while they are currently celebrating the festive season.

absolutely :)

and some of them may be compatible to waffles also.

it is music compilations created (the music, yes) and selected by What.CD members. Volume 3 was just released. You might call it "indie music":)

[flashback3r]

Thanks for the tips everyone :)

As you guessed I want to build a little buffer :P I want to download so many old unpopular torrents so I have to buffer first :P

[torrentpoptarts]

Specific torrents (as already mentioned here: WhatCD Compilations, Staff Picks) are always FL.

If they ever do a bigger FL it will be to celebrate a site milestone, special event, or holiday -- it is usually limited to new torrents: only for the first 6 hours after being uploaded.

On rare occasions, the entire site will be FL. For instance, on Sept 19th 2008 and lasted for two days. They had an upload contest and vowed that if enough new torrents were uploaded they would extend the sitewide FL from 1 to 2 days. (There were site problems the first day, so I think they extended it even longer)
