>Due to some recent events, What.CD is shutting down. We are not likely to return any time soon in our current form. All site and user data has been destroyed. So long, and thanks for all the fish. It's real
It's a fucking shame, because What was a genuinely yuuuge archive for music, it dwarfed Spotify, iTunes Store, etc.
Nicholas Parker
shut up you spanish nigger, keep downloading your 32kbps arab mariachi from radio morocco
Charles Campbell
Waffles is still down too
David Davis
Good Fucking faggot secret clubs I hope konami deletes sows
Daniel Johnson

Parker Wood
Piss off. You can find 320kbps rips of practically anything and you don't have to turn you pc in a server for leechers.
Jackson Anderson
FUCK
an user here gave me an account for christmas, i wanted to download stuff for sampling
Evan Martin
Fuck you. Sows is all I have.
Bentley Rivera
On top of being run by suicidal bureaucrats flooding their country with rapists and terrorists and capitulating to Merkel, this is another great reason why France needs a second revolution.
Chase White
you guys should consider supporting the artist if you like the music
Landon Moore
Piracy should mean jail. There is no justification.
>inb4 muh joos
Xavier Brooks
you really think Le Pen is OK with torrent ?
Liam Russell
>Expecting somebody from the Balkans to buy a shitload of music Good luck with that
Oliver Phillips
>320kbps rips kek, listening to the CBR Jew..
Aaron Adams
Everyone chill the fuck out
We Frogs need your support and memetic energy for an uncucking with Le Pen in 2017
Don't turn on us before the fight even started!
Levi Anderson
I just checked it this morning and it was fine, what the fuck happenend?
Connor Hall
This country is way too shit for that. People are so fucking dumb they'll just vote Republican because muh 6 gorillon.

Je suis triste maintenant ...
Liam Roberts

Aiden Barnes
ffs ppl, soulseek is like 19th century
Camden Torres
What.CD was for hipster faggots who care more about their CUE and LOG files than the music itself.
Connor Campbell
Hand-converted custom studio mastered vinyl rip 24-96+ FLAC true eternal and final master race reporting in.
Tyler Russell
First BCG and now What.cd. What is next? PTP and BTN?
We meme'd Trump where he belongs. Surely we can do the same over here. You gotta have some faith, man.
Adrian Powell
Who cares if it's still functional
Christian Watson
But Americans somewhat know what freedom is. People hate freedom here.
Zachary Nguyen
That's really bad. These things don't come back once their gone, not in the same glory. Some of the stuff on their will no doubt be unrecoverable. It's pretty much like burning down a library.
Adrian Hernandez
Seriously man, don't be so cynical. We can do it. We will teach them, and they will like it.
William Morales
This, I download obscure as fuck music that even last.fm barely knows all the time, and I rarely have a problem finding any of it.
Ethan Foster
Private trackers BTFO
Landon Clark
The difference is nobody cares about France.
Jeremiah White
arnt they the jews with the autistic application process to get in?

Maybe people will learn that keeping all your eggs in one centralized basket is bad when there is a group of assholes that would love nothing more than to smash your eggs and throw you in prison.
Nolan Davis
Yeah, it was a way of keeping retards and leechers out.
Alexander Ross
>It's pretty much like burning down a library. this is what it reminds me of, music is not gone, it's on hard drives of people all around the world and what is not it can be ripped again.
but the collages. album details and other unique content that users created themselves was a huge treasure
Andrew Ross
Surely hundreds or thousands of people have the music still.
Of course private tracker faggots are the first to whine about exclusive releases being lost if their site is shut down all while excluding the majority of people for getting the music.
Alexander Perez
>tfw riaa jews will get me soon
Henry Peterson

Cameron Baker
Literally who?
Asher Williams
Shut up, leaf. If I wanted my retarded cousin's opinion I would have asked.
John Bell
There's many reasons private trackers exist beyond "elitism."
Landon Gomez
I was more disappointed about BCG. I had an account since 2005 or 2006. I remember having to get a new account when they reset their site around the same time.
Connor Moore
Going to vote anyway, we'll see.
Colton Cooper
I guess French users have most to worry about
Google translation:
The Gendarmerie Nationale has just put a stop to the business of the private tracker What.cd. 12 servers seized at OVH in Lille and Gravelines, as well as a machine at Free.
It is this Thursday, November 17th that the Gendarmerie Nationale, and more specifically the military of the center of fight against the digital criminals (C3N), has seized the servers mails, irc and trackers of the tracker torrent private What.cd. In short, a nice nest of data that the investigators are analyzing. A first phase is not negligible. Even if the site is still active, it does not work anymore.
The users who used this private tracker found themselves without any connection to the three million proposed torrents (if I quickly calculate, it gives 3 million X 15 X 13 x 0,07 €, or 41 million euros of damage for the Assignees, NDR). The machines were seized in majorities in the North of France (Lille, Roubaix, Graveline ...) because hosted at OVH.
According to my information, this is a first sentence in this investigation, which began two years ago. It appears that the gendarmes were seized by SACEM. The investigation continues. The data seem to make it possible to go back to many French people and administrators, but also to the "boss" of What.cd, based in the United Kingdoms.
Connor Edwards
Like being harder to shut down? Oh wait.
Alexander Clark
Stop violating artists rights. Stop it.
Brandon Morris
What.CD deserved to die. All the torrents in the world aren't worth the ass kissing required to use it.
Christian Walker
Well yeah, this one had a run of nearly 9 years.
Kayden Thompson
>Le Pen wins becaue of this what do
Nathan Morgan
I had an account for 6 years this month. RIP :(
Anthony Watson
>Implying the average French 'tard even knows what a torrent is
Nathaniel Hernandez
Thats what you get for not letting me sign up niggers
Dominic Sullivan
>He pays for all of his shit. I bet you pay 30 for a gram of weed.
Luis Miller
I'm surprised they were able to stay alive this long.
Lincoln Cox
big deal just dl SLSK what.cd was elitist garbage anyhow.
Gabriel Stewart
>he pays for the digital jew top kek massive cuck
Aaron Green
For such an elite tracker constantly under attack by trolls, cheaters and law to be constantly open through simple interview is incredible. No other tracker of that rank would let ungrateful trash like you even near.
Also, what.cd created gazelle which enabled PTP, BTN and hundreds of other trackers to exist
Gabriel Flores
Disagree. A lot of shit is effectively gone even if people still have it on their drives. No given place to upload it and no given place to download it.
If Nyaa died tomorrow a shitload of things would permanently be lost from the internet.
what.cd is as bad or worse.
Josiah Miller
slsk motherfuckers. use it. you guys live under a fucking rock? wahhhhh muhhhh tracker! give me a fucking break.
Carter Scott
It was also an archive of human accomplishments.
Ian Brooks
Please God let the world end. Please dear Lord let the ground quake and let hellfire come up from the depths and burn away our miserable sinner flesh, let the devil have his way with all the world 'til we know what filthy little vermin we are.
Parker Russell
come to rutracker faggots
Ethan Harris
No mate, this exact thing happened with Oink almost 10 years ago. Then the (((industry))) gloated they finally managed to kill the greatest music tracker in the world.
Few days later you had What and Waffles.
Daniel Long
who /napster/ here
Sebastian Price
rutracker is actually one of the best trackers in the world, I just don't like the software it uses, for specialized collections like music and movies gazelle is more practical
Dylan Miller
What's the point of downloading music in 2016 when everything is on Youtube?
Dylan Butler
the russians have it figured out, if you must use trackers trust the russian mafia to keep things going.
Henry King
the interface is all in cyrillic though... will I find the recent anime series there at least?
Samuel Reed
if you're listening music on your pitiful portable picnic player then there's no point at all
Jack Martinez
Hmmm I uploaded some of th more classic early torrents lets hope I don't go to jail now
Robert Ross
just do what the brits do >fucking tories
Logan Mitchell
What else would you be listening it on?
Hudson Thompson
wtf i hate daft punk now
Hunter Sullivan
some people actual care about quality you know. youtube compresses the shit out of stuff, no only but rates but hertz as well.
Michael King
>tfw remember napster, gnuetella, kazaa, bearshare, soulseek, limewire >tfw all those share sites like rapidshare, depositfiles >tfw remember yahoo live, stickam, coke music, geocities, homestead, planetquake >tfw remember the day megaupload died
anons it hurts, so much of our internet history dead only to be re-filled with stuff like buzzfeed and facebook
Do you also have those crystals that purify the sound through aethereal vibrations?
Aiden Morris
So is a record store, bandcamp.com, etc etc. If an artist wants you to have their art for free then they will provide it.
*looks directly into the camera*
Stop it.
David Hernandez
Wow reminds me of earlier this year when Nostalrius got shut down because it was hosted by OVH in France.
Good thing that one is coming back soon though.
Christopher Sanchez
depositfile and rapidshare were always shit, megaupload was always the best which is why they were shutdown. Soulseek still around and better than ever. All others are shit except maybe DC++ which is okay
Jace Cook
*teleports behind u*
Nathaniel Robinson
for you niggers everything is aethereal except your trusty boombox
Kevin Parker
is there something wrong with nyaa?
Also on rutracker just use the searchbox, titles are generally in english.
