I suppose you mean to say the your country is banned from the invites channel. Because afaik, what.cd doesn't ban any IP ranges. It only bans IPs of previously banned members.
You can still join by getting an invite from somewhere else, just not the interview.

Well said mate. I feel the same way.

Re: What.CD vs Waffles...
I have What and I have found getting a decent ratio is difficult.... Two tricks that work for me....
1. Go to the library and rip a buttload of audiobooks, then upload them... they are 500 meg plus and just a couple leeches help a lot.
2. Download stuff off other sites where your ratio is good, (exactly the same stuff on what), then just change the torrent file to what's. Upload for a while without downloading. :01:

there are also plenty of stuff on forums/blogs that are not available on what.cd/waffles.

Re: What.CD vs Waffles...
Also looking through your own cd collection is a good idea rip them in flacs if theyre not on there :)

Re: What.CD vs Waffles...
There are more places, than what and waffles... easier to seed and to obtain ratio..... imo that those 2 are worth it, when you cannot find something anywhere else...

Secretive aren't we? Well I guess that comes along with being 1337, lol.
Seriously I agree. What+Waffle are usually my last stop. I haven't gotten enough into DDL yet, though (which I hear is great for music).

Re: What.CD vs Waffles...
You have a problem man, that l33t crap, only exists in your little brain.
If you want to know, just ask people before regurgitating your stupidity.
No hard feelings.

If it only existed in my brain, than all the edrama would cease, because I keep a lot of stuff to myself (a look into my brain would prolly kill most people, lol).
Can't you tell when I'm joking? (I though the seriously part of my post was obvious)
PS: My brain must be huge because my head is. :lol:

Collection? I don't have a collection. :blink:
But yes, hopefully I won't have resort to Waffles/What as often now. Which doesn't change the fact that they're both great sites.
Ps: Perhaps I should turn down every invite from now on just to keep people here happy...

Is it just me or does it seem easier to seed on waffles than on what.cd? :unsure:

nope, it's the same sh.. for everyone (except maybe bad-day and other guys who can't have the picture for whatever reason). but! ease of seeding means that torrents will die faster.

more fl opportunities at waffles (august fl, current random fl), seeding (and other types of) bonuses, lack of banning opportunities because of a bad ratio. sure, some individual torrents can be seeded better at what because there are more potential leechers, but still..

Agree with this, though I find What CD alot easier/better to find content.
-
Re: What.CD vs Waffles...
There's a lot of content that Waffles has but What doesn't, and vice versa. Both have an abundance of music available though. In my opinion what sets the two apart, is that Waffles has more of a "community" feel than What.

6 months ago actually:

What.CD? 506,896 torrents
Waffles 253,448 torrents
Anyway, forget the stats, love them both, and stop complaining about the ratio, just share what you download.

Re: What.CD vs Waffles...
+1 Tanchistu. I love both of them, member on both from the very start. Looking back i was upset and awed to see OiNK busted. I never thought that these two trackers make it. And they've done it - in style. The Hydra lives!
-
Re: What.CD vs Waffles...
its pretty simple if you like music you should have both...its always good to have a backup in case one goes down :-\
but waffles ftw!
-
Re: What.CD vs Waffles...
I like waffles it is a cozier place
-
Re: What.CD vs Waffles...
I can get behind the "waffles has a community feel" comments because everyone I know, including myself who didn't jive with others on the forums/IRC has been banned. So of course it's going to be all happy & comfy, if you speak out of line you get banned.
I have no problems with the community on what.cd. I hang out in a dozen channels and post on the forums regularly, a lot of people get along and the staff participate often and not always in a goofy way.
-
Re: What.CD vs Waffles...
I prefer the community at waffles but I just have not been on what that long yet. So I can't really say but I don't really notice that much of a difference between the two. I have never not found a file I needed at either site. I am not a hardcore music person though. I really don't pay attention between the stats at trackers at all. I just download and seed and go my own way.

The same can be said about what.cd. Being a member of both sites I feel waffles has a friendlier atmosphere.
Example- They don't care if you mention the url of these secret sites(right/wrong you judge) is an indication that they're laidback. Each to his own I guess.:cool:
-
Re: What.CD vs Waffles...
i like both tbh...obviously what is way more organized...but there are aspects of waffles that are great as well - such as the requests section is much better (and u also don't lose any upload to request and/or vote on one...which i feel is a better idea)
that said, both sites are really tough to seed on so that kinda sucks...but the content they have is just so massive that its all worth it in the end
