What.Cd's Lack of Seeders

On these music sites it's almost impossible to have good ratio without a freeleech or at least a big freeleech torrent from time to time.
If everyone keeps uploading then we'd be stuck with 5 torrents of the same thing and that's not quality.

Waffles really has what beat in quality.

thats why i LOVE stms ratio rules..works great..too bad their quality isn't quite as good as what or waffles..otherwise itd be amazing!

I do think What.cd should enforce a Hit n Run system. Not a strict one, but one where you have to seed for 36 hours before leaving the torrent. This will help achieve a culture of seeding, and keep their userbase free of people that leave torrents as soon as they dl them.

I think this would help their commmunity big time.

(probably like 10:1) that just screws up the rest of us who dont have super fast connections

lol, my bad

what will change something soon i think, because people will find alternatives otherwise

they need to introduce either hit and run scheme or bonus scheme , or both.

Keep the members seeding for a good reason instead of a quiet client just announcing.

I just uploaded a volume version of adobe master collection that wasn't on the site. Seeded up to about 50 gigs and then figure that's as much music as I'll ever download.

Though I do keep all the music on my seedbox seeded unless there's so many seeders on a torrent that it wouldn't make a difference.

Yeah, totally agree. I've uploaded 10 torrents, and while they've been snatched upwards of 10 times, none of them have seeders other than me. =(

Yea I hate it, there are no leeches. I uploaded 1 torrent on brokenstones, got 10 leeches in 1 minute

uploaded on what.cd and got 1 leech in 1 month.

THe only thing i can do is upload hundreds of torrents and hope for people to leech.
