koolkeyZ865 Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 I have to thank What.CD for the bitching about how 99% quality rips aren't good enough and for the hours spent grabbing all of the obscure classical music CDs at the library to keep my ratio at a safe level. Seriously though, it's pretty sad to see it go. With the library nearly the size of the Seek and the rips cleaner then buying the CD or record itself, I'll miss it but just like the site it replaced it'll spring back up soon. http://freepubliclibrary.org/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huzur Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 I still use soulseek for most stuff, there are plenty of autistic collectors yet to give up on it. What are you dudes using these days besides what.cd? Well shit. Any invites to other trackers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goiter Sanchez Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 I got invited there once from a Discogs user because I have some rare stuff in my collection but never ended up checking it out. What was it exactly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goiter Sanchez Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Damn, reading about it now. It sounded awesome. Hopefully something else will appear to fill the niche. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

azatoth Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 What.cd shutting down is like the burning of the library of Alexandria. They had some rare shit, expertly curated. Had a decent buffer also thanks to uploading some bounty. Waffles is dead too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweepstakes Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 surely it's possible to create a file sharing service without any centralised servers that could be easily shut down, or does all data between two computers always need to pass through a server? You asked "all data ... always" which isn't probably true of -any- P2P service. Now, is it possible to have a P2P service completely -without- a centralized server? Well, how would the client computers find each other? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manmower Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 You'd think something must have happened to raise their profile considering how long the site had been "allowed" to exist, wonder if it has anything to do with the relatively recent trend of hacking/exploiting digital download stores.

WeAreOceans Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 a real shame, I rarely struggled to find anything I needed on there and there was some stuff archived you would never find a physical copy of, but I'm not surprised it got slammed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eugene Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 great news, hopefully people will migrate to soulseek/ruracker or other open platforms, the wcd ratio rules coupled with its seedbox proliferation among users became unbearable for people with slower connections.
