I would suggest What.CD as well. Especially if you aren't too concerned about dedicating yourself to music, keeping a ratio on two sites will be a pain.
What.CD, not only by torrent count, but also with the smooth Gazelle code, is definitely a winner.
Alot of the torrents are extra stuffers such as apps and ebook etc...
If you did a music comparison they are probably both very similar.
Waffles is also known for having faster release times on new albums. There website has a heavily modified script that truly makes it a one of a kind tracker.
Also the feeling at what.cd is much more tense as it seems like they always want to ban you. I personally think you would mesh with more of a family type of community.
What.cd has did me wrong, and I don't want to see the same happen to you.
What.CD FTW :D
just bypass torrents and search for rapidshare/megaupload links
they will most likely be scene releases and not v0 but you'll save a lot of hassle w/ ratio
Those aren't waffle iron approved though :PQuote:

The number of torrents on What.cd is almost 3 times the number on waffles. Besides torrent organization (Grouping, similar artists.. pressings of same albums..etc) on what.cd owns waffles.
Are you sure?Quote:

last time i checked, No site wants to go down like OiNK did.Quote:

What about if you try to invite a blacklisted member and they frame you for having a bad ratio? lol and then your lying when you try to tell the truth.Quote:

And about the torrent count, I must say every artist I have ever wanted has been available in every format I wanted, and most of them were waffle ironed approved.
Also the waffle iron is something waffles has over what.cd . It is an additional check for 99%+ correctness of an uploaded album. What.cd has strict upload rules, but the waffle iron truly takes it to the next level.
I prefer what.cd, imho better community, interface and content.
Waffles is just my backup tracker.
I suggest the same. MGM, What and Waffles are too much of a hassle because of the difficulty of raising your ratio. Especially starting out from 0.Quote:

If for some reason these methods don't suit you after using them for a while, then try What/Waffles. Unless you're uploading your own music or comics on these two trackers, it's kind of pain to maintain a good ratio.
What.cd has changed their ratio rules (I'm not sure as I was a member before the switch) but from what I hear as long as you leave your torrents seeding you can dl w.e you want.Quote:

Also waffles.fm has some freeleech that helps alot, I've seeded over 100 gigs on my home connection. Although I must say it was pretty difficult
