Whats amazing about a true private tracker site like What.cd or Waffles.fm, is they care about music. They have lossless FLAC rips of almost every cd ever. But its a community, so you have to share as much as you download, or more. Theres no downloading for days straight and then not seeding when you have what you want.

But i just downloaded ENYA’s new christmas cd in a FLAC rip in under 2 mins… Thats 300mb…

If you can handle MP3’s ripped by some random guy and likely transcoded several times, go ahead and download from wherever. Its easier, but generally slow.

If you dont have a decent connection, dont bother with a private tracker, you wont be able to keep your share up and will get banned, and possibly ban whoever invited you.

Oh, and all the songs are almost allways properly tagged and have good quality artwork.

Oh yeah, bump because I have 6 invites to What.cd that I’d like to hand out to some reputable members.

23

I usually download FLAC and covert them to 320 Kbps Mp3s

24

They save you the hassle and have 320 also.

25

isn’t there a ratio/inactivity requirement at what.cd

26

Very strict, if you don’t contribute or abuse they ban you fast.

27

I don’t use torrents often, only for software. If someone would be willing to send me a what.cd or waffles invite I’d appreciate it and would definitely benefit the community. I’ve been thinking about getting into the music torrents for a while but never found a site that was good.

My ratio on demonoid is 3.29.

Also, I really like demonoid just because you know what you are getting when you grab a torrent. You can’t honestly say that on the public sites such as pirates bay. Also, the seeding is good and consistent.

28

Unfortunately the ratio on Demonoid means nothing. It isn’t calculated correctly and there for does not affect your status on the site.

29

Ah. How is it calculated on demonoid? All I know is that I upload more than I download. Seeing as I rarely download anything.

Still looking for a what.cd or waffles invite.

30

your Upload/Download is how it’s calculated at Demonoid. It just doesn’t record accurately for people so it’s basically there for show.

31

A few trackers there are ways that you can “cheat” it and/or it will read wrong.

32

^ Yea, kinda like demonoid. I had a account for years and never used it. Then i downloaded sone 2-3gb file from there (it was slow as hell) and it never counted towards my download, but i had a few GB upload credit.

33

yeah, I downloaded for 2 weeks or so without the site updating my rating… then one day out of the blue, it updated and put my rating at 0.7 :picard:

back around 1:1 now

34

There is a method so to speak on getting your ratio to update…it’s not 100% but it’s your best bet at getting it to register properly (assuming you care)

35

I don’t even care over on Demonoid, I treat that site the same way I treat all other public ones. Download at will and delete after completion (typically though after deletion upload is already 1:1)

36

I wouldn’t mind a what.cd login/invite. I’ve stuffed a 500G drive full at my house, and my ratio lives right at 1.1-1.2:1. 116G down/131 up here at work. If you’ve still got any to give out, I’d appreciate it.
