What.Cd's Lack of Seeders

Since the moment I joined What.Cd I noticed there are very little number of seeders. With OiNK's death I thought it will be strong, fast, reliable community with a lot of seeders and leechers.

Being a member for a few months now (almost from the tracker's opening...), situation is still the same. I'll not bother public with screenshots, but there are just a few torrents that has good speed and overall seeders/leechers ratio.

So... What is happening?

P.S. I would like to see neat discussion, not arguing which music tracker is better. Also, please avoid comparison with other trackers as much as you can. Thank you.

There are no seeders cause there are no leechers! Noone seems to download so everyone is trying to upload as much as they can and they reach a point when they can't support thier own uploads... I think this is a major problem!

i agree, there's no incentive to download when we see so many accounts getting deleted for bad ratio. those 'leechers' are the ones keeping the site alive, with so many ratio fucking crazy ex oinkers that seed OVER 1:1. (probably like 10:1) that just screws up the rest of us who dont have super fast connections

Ya i need more leechers. I grabbed a lot of LOSSLESS there the
last few days and cant leechers to seed back to :/

Its a pain in the ass cuz my ratio is falling low :(

Im just gomma rip some stuff myself
make up for it :D

Yes, the only way to succeed is to upload your own stuff and fill requests!

Or for them to give out 10 GB upload :naughty:

i dont download much from both whatcd or waffles since i upload most of time there.

i would say there is not that lack of seeders its lack of leechers atm..

but when i download something there are always enough leecher to seedback :D

well this is a common problem for us all

good to you Forumas, you have could seed back to ratio 1 each time you download :)

The problem lies a little deeper - most members were on OiNK and have shared there stuff there and now posting it again to the same public just brings an overload which no one really wants!

@RedLeb: Hm, very interesting explanation. Seems very logical and correct.
