Any Invites Left?

Got some green e-peen to send your way

[BodiesOfLight]

My invite must have expired or something because I tried to sign up today after not being able to do it yesterday because the site was down, and it said it was invalid. Fucking weak as shit.

[powerglov]

Forgot to mention: In addition to being an OiNK power user refugee, I got rep to spread!

[Guest DUM]

invites closed again but everyone that's contacted me will be getting one when possible.

[PaperSt.]

How did you get one, in the first place DUM?

[Guest DUM]

Yeah, it's down alot...hopefully it'll be good with that new server they keep talking about.

[Servo2000]

I'm not convinced this site is ever going to go online again.

[keagan]

it was up for like an hour this morning.

shitttttttttttttttttttt

[bye4now12]

Its up now and working.

My main concern, is that there is litterally no music on there that I want and don't already have. There seems to be so much electronic and alternative.

[jpgm]

upload tunes dude....if everyone had that attitude, there wouldnt be anything on there.

[greentalks43]

Someone help a man out?

willie.binder@gmail(dot)com

[sunkenshoes]

PM me.

I'll +rep you if you really care...

[sunkenshoes]

[naturaljax]

Invite blahblahblah(^(%*&%(8 not found.

[Servo2000]

Is anyone else getting connection errors? In Azureus my "Tracker Status" is "Connection Error (ConnectionException:Connection refused)", but it's still downloading on some of them anyway?

[jpgm]

i was getting that error about 15 minutes ago, but not anymore.

[Servo2000]

I get the feeling it's going to take a long time before what.cd becomes useful to me. Everything I searched for today already had zero seeders.

[isoform]

its zero seeders because the tracker is freaking out and down for most of the torrents...pretty ridiculous and more trouble than its worth.

for ppl not connecting just check the forum for the tracker fix (it'll be direct ip address versus what.cd or imgbeh.com or whatever it was)... it worked for 4/10 of my up'd torrents.

[youngluc]

i'd be really stoked if someone could hook up an invite, i've been scouring other boards i'm on and no ones shot me one. thanks.

[naturaljax]

Subject : Music Piracy

Dear registered user of the site What.cd,

We have recently been investigating the activities of the users of the site http://www.what.cd/ and we have found that this site exists for the sole purpose of music piracy.

Pirating music is a criminal offence and we believe it should be obvious to you that the results outweigh the benefits - hard working artists won't be rewarded for their work and will stop producing music, ultimately leading to a severely reduced selection of music both in the shops and for download.

The RIAA had hoped that the disabling by the police of the large illegal music site, Oink.cd, would stop a lot of people from engaging in piracy, as they don't want to be seen as criminals. However, this appears to not be the case, as two large new sites have sprung up in its place.

This email is the final warning to all of you who were members of Oink.cd and are current members of What.cd. If we find you to be committing any more criminal acts of piracy then we will have to press charges against you, as representatives of the major record companies of America.

Yours Faithfully,

The RIAA

not sure whether this is really legit or not...

did anyone else get this?

i was never a member of oink.....did anyone that has never been an oink or what.cd member get the same email? this is probably spam/scaremongering if so.

if not, i guess the RIAA have obtained email addresses of members.....if this is in fact legit, then time will tell whether or not this is just scaremongering.

From what.cd's homepage:

∼ Someone really doesn't like us! ∼ posted on Nov-12-07 by What

Edit by DAQ: These fake RIAA Emails are just that. Fake. http://pastebin.ca/770503 Read that.

This week has been terrible. After we did two code audits and fixed our security issues, our wonderful attackers couldn't get in (yay!), so they turned to brute force. After having been hit by several port scans and a rather fearsome DDoS attack (traffic reaching almost 80 megabits per second (note: that's 10 megabytes per second)) our server pretty much went to hell. After an extended downtime (ending a couple hours ago) during which we tweaked firewall settings, etc., we decided that it was safe enough to bring the site back up.

Pretty much immediately after the site came back up we had someone trying to brute force our (well passworded) ssh accounts (they've now met the hot burny side of the firewall).

What have we learned from all this? That there is a person or a group of people somewhere that wants us to disappear. We originally thought that the attacks were by bored kids, but whoever was behind the DDoS appears to be much more serious than that. We aren't going to publicly speculate on who is behind the attacks - we'll leave that to you guys.

Despite these attacks, we are still up and running, and we hope to stay this way for a very long time. We have plans for this site, and we aren't going to flush them down the drain just because some people don't like what we're doing. The first of our plans involves a very cool freeleech plan, but we're going to wait until we're sure the tracker's relatively stable for that. For the time being, we're keeping freeleech on until further notice.
