Its obvious now.. Waffles>What

[Gish]

In my last thread (click here) about this, I made a thread saying how good what.cd is and was like "look at the results of the polls, everyone loves what.cd, its better" and was like listen to Paines blog everyone, he knows it all. But with further inspection heres what I found.

Waffles:
Online Since2007-10-25 Registered users8,436 Torrents33,373

What.cd:
Tracker down right now so I can't even get current data, but I remember last was like 22,000 torrents 12,000 members. most of the torrents seederless.



So waffles is NEWER, but has WAY more torrents with LESS members. That should give a nice comparison of the communities. Browsing speeds arn't even comparable. What.cd is Hacked, broken, off line, u name it. Waffles has been speedy, solid, healthy consistent leeching with seeding make for an active tracker. lately all what torrents are 0/0 seeders/leachers.

I agrees

I would say that What would be in a better position if it weren't for server and tracker problems (no matter what is to blame for that). Not a bad site by any means but it has been relatively unsatisfactory for me the last couple days. Still haven't been fortunate enough to get an invite to waffles.

Its true, and you know its annoying having to seed multiple sites too. Users would maintain much better ratios if they didn't have to spread their precious bandwidth over so many different sites

true.

Bo0ddha - i didnt say "let's open a gigantic sh*tload of content tracker".

all i said that it would be nice if we were able to get all Oinkers to the same place again so we won't get spread..

besides... agree with me that to many trackers of the same category, and im not talking about scene, im talking about private releases, are better be found in one place instead of searching in 5 or even 10 music torrents..

my Fav list is pretty full for now, sorry, cant add anymore trackers

i still had to use public trackers to find some music .

In theory yes it is better to have it all in one place. Some would say it is easier to maintain a ratio with only 1 site. I think that this isn't the case. Anything you download from one of the trackers can be uploaded to the other. It creates an easy way to build a buffer with the two sites. I think 10 or 15 sites WOULD be too much, but the only real limit to the number of sites is how many members each one wants to allow compared to the number of user, useful users, who would populate it.

def agree that waffles is doing better right now, but im hoping what has fixed all their probs and can do just as well in the long run.....having 2 great trackers is much better than 1.

having 2 great trackers is much better than 1.

Sure. I really believe in both sites.
