What's the tracker status in your client?

varies between some nasty shit like "connection closed by peer" or "offline (timed out)"

I think this is an april fool's joke and the turned off the tracker so no one's ratio would be affected

no, thats because its freeleech and the servers are overloading. Most of my torrents are green now

plus they changed ip, there is an announce on front page.
and when there is a big freeleech at what or waffles, the tracker is having problems. it's a tradition :)

Never made so much use a what.cd freeleech as I did for this one. Finally could snatch Complete Bach, Beethoven, and Mozart packs, without destroying my ratio :D

This might be the longest freeleech on what.cd since their initial couple weeks?? :O

And if you observe any abnormalities, refer to the help forum or #what.cd-help on our IRC network.

Nah they've had a few... I've had at least one full site freeleech in my time there, maybe two, in addition to those FLACleeches and a few others. Some of those have been longer than 4 days if I recall correctly.

Just keep your client open if the tracker is overloaded and can't update your stats right now. Eventually it will.

emm i'm not an expert but i was told that after some timeouts the tracker will forget some peer_id shit and just won't accept upload amount at particular torrent until the second successful announce..
anyway it won't hurt to keep the client running, but _maybe_ it could make sense _if_ the upload channel is full to temporarily suspend all "red" uploads in favor of successfully announced ones...

I don't think so.
Real freeleech, but server load seems to be very high

What I know from theory and experience is that if the tracker is down, it will of course not update your stats until it's back up and you make an announce. Never heard about the peer_id thing.

I didn't download much, because I already had a 100GB buffer. Now it's at about 150GB just from downloading the entire Bach. I don't need any new music right now because I've already got quite a big backlog and I've learned from the waffles freeleech in the summer that hoarding music is a bad idea because I'll forget its there or what it is and never end up listening to it.

Might use today to update some 128kbps stuff I have from back in the day to V0.

What.cd home page:

"
As we've grown past 3 million peers, it's gotten harder and harder for the tracker to keep up with the increased load. Recently, this manifested itself in a high percentage of tracker timeouts, which annoyed us as much as they annoyed you!

After a fair amount of hard work by WhatMan and lenrek, we've resolved the tracker issues - the load is now balanced across two trackers. There will still be problems every now and then, which are inherent in handling 3 million peers on a tight budget - however, the tracker is, for the most part, quite usable now. We thank you very much for the patience you displayed while we worked on resolving this matter.

On a different note, our new developer porkpie has implemented his first major feature - thread subscriptions! You can subscribe to a thread by clicking the [Subscribe] link on the top.

Thank you for your efforts, porkpie

Most torrents have been responding after some time, at least. This freeleech has been pretty epic.

Listen Up Clapton - I'm going to do everything in my power to sabotage WHAT.CD and YOU personally. I will make damned sure of it too.
Listen up people - don't waste your time on what.cd. Go to WAFFLES instead. What.cd is ran by thieves and liars. User CLAPTON on this forum is a piece of crap over at what and is a liar and a thief.
I'm coming after you, I will make sure of it. Laugh all you want now, but believe me, what.cd is going down. And so are you.

I mean he has had 1 post in 3 months so if you out to get him i dont think here is the place to start...
as for what.cd i have a hard time seeing you bringing that down... regardless of what you say about the staff(which may or may not be true i rly dont care) the content of the site is good and many like it so so ppl are going to continue to use it...
I mean ppl still use and support PTP after everything thats gone on there i doubt that 1 guy with a vendetta against what is going to be that big of a deal...
