What.cd
I kind of like Waffles more even though I have spent only a few hours on it. It's better much better design, faster speeds (yeah kind of full of sct seedboxers) and torrents got uploaded probably as fast as on what.cd (something like 2,5k in 7 hrs?). Plus, +10gb upload kinda ruined what.cd totally for me.
I've joined one of these so called Oink replacements, and I have to admit it does look promising at first glance, but come on - you can't seriously compare sites which are up for less than a week to the more established music trackers.
they all look preety sweet for the time being... time will tell
Not sure....I am still getting over the loss of oink :(
Even though Boink will be public, you have to remember Oink was once a public tracker also.
Its still too early to tell at this point.
I didn't vote..
becuase :
a. Boink as not been opened yet(I think)
b.those two site are new and nee some time to develop
c.I'm not a member of waffles so I can't know if it's good enough..
I think you should've done this poll in a a week or so, to give all the users a chance to be in both sites in order to cast their vote..

I went other.
Both what.cd and waffles have had alot of issues out there gate and boink isn't even open and shouldn't be included. A smaller less known site like TheMusik to me is probably the best up and coming tracker.
If it's the guys over at Pirate Bay who is behind Boink I'm sure it will be able to put up a big fight against the other trackers.

I dunno, Boink might not even come out from all this.
what is boink url ?
I'm in both what.cd and waffles.fm, and frankly they are both great.
Started with...
what.cd = 10 gigs upload credit
waffles.fm = free leech for 2-3 days
They are both getting hit with start up issues too (i.e.: hardware ) That's been my biggest disappointment so far, but what can you expect...they just opened, patience :)
It's too early to say who will be the best and frankly I don't care. I'm supporting both equally and frankly I hope they both stay alive. I'd rather have 2 50k user sites then 1 massive 200k user site and have it shutdown...
BOink = public music tracker = never going to work in my opinion...quality control is non-existent...
Give these 2 sites at least 2-3 months, then we'll talk... :whistling
waffels!!!
they have a survey in paine's blog...
"Which site would you rather be a member at?"
20 hrs left and following is the result so far...
waffles.fm
1861 (56%)
what.cd
711 (21%)
Neither
714 (21%)

D. Waffels is better :D
what.cd is back in the race now
I think waffles is going to win this race no matter what the poll says!
most X-oinkers from the memorial forums say they are going to uploading everything that they had on oink when they get in, if most are not in already in.
Waffles also has a better feel and loads quicker!
already you can see that waffles has considerably less users but more torrents than what.cd:
Waffles: Registered users 2,598
Torrents 16,743
What: Registered users 9,244
Torrents 15,892
just compare the amount of users/torrent ratio on both and you have your winner:)
Edit: the only problem with waffles.fm right now is the lack of leechers. but once we get more members that should not be a problem!
The big problem with What.cd now is that people are uploading all these torrents, but then don't seed them. Everything I search has 0 seeders, which is really tending to piss me off.
I don't believe this is true. The site had major problems in the past days that resulted in multiple downtimes for the tracker. Each time I looked into my uTorrent half of the torrents I was trying to seed were offline and that has surely been the same for other users as well.Quote:

People simply aren't seeding what they upload, I tried to download a Notorious BIG album and the last seeder it had was on 7 days ago.:(Quote:

i have to say that what.cd seems to be the better tracker right now, although i do not actually have an account at waffles, seeing all the free giveaways for what.cd show that its promoting a better sharing community, which is exactly what oink had. waffles is just limiting its userbase creating all this hype for a tracker which little have.
WHAT.CD ALL THE WAYYY
Don't know about that angry. I'm at both. What gave us 10gig, Waffles gaves us 5gig and a couple of freeleeches. Freeleeches are better than gigabite gifts because at least they encourage active dloading which creates more seeds and faster speeds. At the moment both are still starting up. Waffles has more torrents though, 24,990 compared to 18,455. I'm still split. What has mac apps, and craploads of them. Waffles has kids music. Nice. Still early for mine.Quote:

Waffles.fm ;P
lol, this is strange, from when waffles.fm was underground, and before the noobs caught on.
hmm .. seems that what.cd is better ... will see ...
I didn't vote just yet, am not a member of any of the sites. All I know is that if one of the sites offered the feature that OiNK had with search for similar artist etc. I'd probably vote for it.
Not quite... What.cd had open sign-ups and a lot of invites given out...Quote:

But , for now, both are still growing good and fast which is very nice.
So... it's a What-Waffle combo :P
:) then Waffles.fm will be my first goal to try out.. The best feature for a music tracker in my opinion. Still haven't deleted OiNK from my bookmarks, the thought of it makes me uncomfortable :/

I think you're talking about Oinkplus.... (more similiar artists, description, Lastfm player etc...
The creator of Oinkplus has adapted it for both What.cd and Waffle.
Another GREAT feature that both of them now have is a "Upload description filler". You just have to type the Artist, click Fetch and then select the album from a list and the description is automatically filled.
This is really a thing that made the uploaders lives a lot easier...
Was going nuts filling 1000's of descriptions.
the problem is only 30% of the 5.000 albums i uploaded so far were found in this data base.Quote:

At least, that's what I hope :shifty::happy:
Does anybody know if Waffles has opened invites yet? It's been a while since they've done so.
