    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.

    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

    NO.. here's why:

    What.cd:
    # Torrents: 681,343
    # Albums: 331,757
    # Artists: 266,326
    # Requests: 73,135 (64.37% filled)
    # Snatches: 26,004,537
    # Peers: 3,316,051
    # Seeders: 3,232,041
    # Leechers: 84,010
    # Seeder/Leecher Ratio: 38.47

    Waffles:
    # Torrents:273,006/298,469
    # Seeders:956,663
    # Leechers:24,563

    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?
    There is clearly NO leader when it comes down to albums being released on torrent sites. Besides.. a few secs here and there hardly matter (Both for what and waffles). Everything thats mainstream is eventually available on both sites.

    last time i checked, No site wants to go down like OiNK did.
    Besides, You don't need to worry about anything as long as you haven't done anything wrong. So if you aren't a trader or invite seller.. you need not fear anything.

    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.

    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.
    feels good, man

    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.

    I would first start with the warez forums(Avaxhome, Funkysouls, and Warez-BB are three of the best for music). You of course need a premium RS account. But they're cheap. And best of all, no seeding back. Then for trackers, you can just use torrents.ru and Demonoid. And...you can even use Soulseek. A very underrated and very under appreciated way of getting music.

    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.

    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
