what.cd? - Page 2

Lowk · 05-13-2008, 08:49 AM

I have a quite eclectic musical taste, and i have found the more obscure you get, the more you value a account with both sites.

Hope that answers your question.

What site has a good selection of audio books? I haven't really even bothered downloading any music/books since I lost my oink account? Can anyone help me out(and possibly hook me up with an invite)?

Aegdaien · 05-13-2008, 09:04 AM

For audiobooks I've been using Demonoid for the most part. I just got an invite to what.cd and their selection is fairly limited. I'm not sure about waffles though. Demonoid has a very good selection of audiobooks but the speed typically leaves something to be desired. Audiobooks are tough to find though, even searching newsgroups doesn't yield many results.

I don't know shit about audiobooks, is there a best choice atm for them torrent wise?

Watch out what you say in public with those invites. They (being what) claim to ban invites given out on public forums. /shrug

theawddone · 05-13-2008, 10:36 AM

I'm willing to trade an invite for waffles for what.cd, PM me.

Morbeas · 05-20-2008, 11:22 AM

Any invites left for What or Waffles? I'd really appreciate one if any of you have it to spare. Just send me a PM if so.

Thanks a bunch.

So how do I get my ratio up? I've downloaded a handful of stuff, but I've been sitting at 0.15 for a while now. Pretty much every CD I have is on there, even some of the more rare stuff, so I can't think of anything I can upload to seed. Any suggestions?

brekk · 06-25-2008, 03:25 PM

on most music torrent sites best ratio boost is jumping on a new release/new leak RIGHT away. I've done this on music I dont actually like just because theres a big chance of lots of downloaders, and depending on how quickly you get to it, limited uploaders.

Smocca · 06-25-2008, 03:37 PM

Yea going for a new release very early is good. Uploading something in flac which isn't already available. Widely used software (Windows, Photoshop etc) can be pretty good but might take awhile to recoup the initial download.

Freeleech/staff picks are typically where most of my ratio comes from though. Just make sure to check the site often since they usually happen with no warning.

Step one. Go to the library.

Step two. Find an obscure musical genre.

Step three. Rip in EAC and upload.

That'll do you wonders.

It helps to be mindful of random shit going on that's going to increase traffic too.

I got a decent ratio boost by downloading and seeding a ton of George Carlin's stuff the other day.

Lowk · 06-29-2008, 01:27 PM

can someone check the status of the site for me....
