@150

While that’s actually not a bad idea and would probably work really well for many sites, converting the code to C++ only gives a linear speed increase (e.g. 5 times faster), it won’t improve how well it scales. I’d love to hear from anyone that tries this out, though!

you can really tell who the clueless noobs are from reading these comments. Anyone complaining as if the authorities had no idea about what.cd before this article deserves to be smacked around a bit with a large trout

@139 Few reasons:
- it’s a hack job
- and all my spare altruism is spent keeping our site up
- I’m a lazy bum

what.cd is the paradise for people really enjoying quality music rip

just a reminder for the invite rules

# Trading and selling invites is strictly prohibited, as is offering them in public – this includes on any forum which is not a class-restricted section on an invitation-only torrent site.
# Trading, selling, sharing, or giving away your account is prohibited as well. PM a mod to disable you if you no longer want it.
# You’re completely responsible for the people you invite. If your invitees are caught cheating or trading/selling invites, not only will they be banned, so will you. Be careful who you invite. Invites are a precious commodity.

so people asking for invites here WILL NEVER got them

I always give what.cd invite to people I know in real life

nyx: you should look up the difference between “private” and “secret”.

HINT: What.CD is private, but not secret.

What part of “private tracker” don’t you guys understand?

This should not be posted
point of priate trackers is to keep them private

there are only 130,000+ plus members of what.cd
almost all of them from oink
and yes they really do have that many peers..
