Well, I don't think we are able to attribute lack of seeds to the site being 'young' as much, the site seems to be sadly slowing down quite drastically.

As long as they have no seed bonus system this situation will go on for a very long time. And then...

I agree with you on that. They need some type of seed bonus system. I don't see it being implemented int he near future though.

The staff shot the idea down. There was a long thread in the forum about it. Well the way I see it they just shot down the tracker

i don't like lossless so already, most of the stuff on what.cd is useless to me. I think i've downloaded 2 albums total in my 2+ months being on that site, because it's impossible to get a good ratio. For the record, I wasn't with oink beforehand either.

I've never had a issue, downloaded plenty & just seed everything back - every seeds over time to well over 1 in ratio terms.
Sure you don't have a huge volume of people jumping on every single file, but give it a few days & you'll be fine.
Excellent for a still new tracker IMHO

I have files from last months that upload only less than 1mb; and I was seeding 24/7. I just stop seeding cos my client is now banned.

Waffles is excellent for a new tracker. What is struggling, and it's clear to the staff that their policies are inferior to Waffles, which is why they've made their PU requirement almost identical to Waffles, culled their user base to match Waffle's seeder/leecher ratio, and cut back on invites.

I don't like comparing the two either, but the What staff themselves are making that comparison and doing their best to compensate for a significant disadvantage. Not as if this was a competition in the first place, of course.
