Goodnight Sweet Prince.

The government seized 12 of their servers.

Goddammit. This shit can't die, I still haven't managed to get in.

HOLY FUCK NO GOD PLS NO I DIDNT EVEN USE MORE THAN TWO OF MY TOKENS

>was just about to use my FL tokens
>see this shit

WHAT IS HAPPENING, /mu/?!?!?!?

>>69113893
Trackers are down. Blog says they'll be back up in a few days.

Assuming this is just a normal outage (most likely is) I'm sure they'll extend the FL tokens.

wcd staff pls respond.

I know you autists browse this shithole.

>The Gendarmerie Nationale has just put a stop to the business of the private tracker What.cd. 12 seized servers OVH in Lille and Gravelines, and 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.

>>69113088
that's what they get for having such a retarded process just to use their fucking service.
fuck em

is it back to fucking soulseek holy shitt no what the fuck where am i going to get my music in perfect condition now

More like t. didn't want to wait 8 goddamn hours for on of you fools to start volunteering to interview people
Atleast for me

I'm guessing since one of the last announcements was a PSA on inviting the right people that someone invited the feds.

uh, if you just go to what.cd it says regular maintenance

this BS is why the french can't have nice things

>>69114302

Earlier when I went to this link it said
>so long and thanks for all the fish

But now it just says regular maintenance

>>69114304
It wasn't maintenance, the servers went down unexpectedly and they never said why, just said they're working on fixing things.

The honeypot conversion has begun.

>>69114423
this

they pretty much didn't know what was really happening

but now theyre fucking down

mind you htat had to be a deliberate action, which means more than likely someone panicked and SHUT IT DOWN

so now we;re fucked

ok I know there's seedboxes that basically downloaded every FLAC uploaded

I'm certain there were measures in place and it can appear again if they manage to contact these guys

>>69114501

>>69115044
YOU MESSED WITH THE NATURAL ORDER

THANKS TRUMP

I'm panicking!

There has been stretches where they were down for periods of time without explanation... but its in the bloody news. How credible is this news source?

Good thing I stock piled music in the last couple weeks although I am really pissed because I was saving my freeleach tokens.

Well at least I got a cool 300 gigs of music out of it

You only have yourselves to blame. /mu/tracker could still be up right now, but you all just HAD to go back to what.
Pitiful.

>>69115169
I didn't even know there was a FL event going on

>>69115206

There wasn't to my knowledge, people get FL tokens for some reason, I forget how or why, now that the sites gone I can't check to see. FUCK.

>>69115206
>>69115249
End of October is the site's anniversary so they did a few rounds of staff picks and gave every user 15 freeleech tokens

what happens to all the users? will they backtrace our IP addresses and fine us?

>>69115294
Yes.
In short, we're all fucked. See you in jail, dude.

>>69115294
im not convinced they've been shut down yet, but the only thing that will happen is a bunch of the top uploaders and site admins will get into some shit

the same thing happened with oink and as far as i know no one got into any real trouble even in court

>>69115169
Someone on r/trackers said zataz is pretty big in France, at least for a blog about tech privacy/security.

will this lead to the resurgence of /sharethreads/ now that we can't just log on to what and download it?

>>69115294
They have hundreds of thousands of users, the chance of the average user getting so much as an email is basically 0.

Bigtime uploaders/rippers might be in trouble though.

>>69115389
"album" site: blogspot mediafire renaissance

>>69115386
yea im not believing one random french site that ive never heard of

>>69114302
If you think the feds weren't already on there, you're delusional. It's trivial to get on any tracker whatsoever as a normal user. Imagine what you could do as a federally funded agent with tons of infrastructure.

I wouldn't doubt that even some of the rippers on HDbits are feds that are collecting data. Hope you fuckups are using encrypted XDCC transfers to get everything. :^)

>>69115578
habeeb it anon.

Is Rutracker safe? should I start hording?

stripped of the biggest joy in my life. what cd was too pure to exist in this hell world

>>69115672
It's pretty legit most of the time, not as good for ultimate obscurecore shit like What however.

SOULSEEK > WHAT CD
SUCK IT FAGGOTS

>>69115789
shut your cake hole

Who here still had tokens they didn't use?

>>69115882
i never used the tokens because I had like 200gb of buffer

>>69115882
i used all my tokens but 3 were unfinished. boxsets as well so feels bad. At least i had no buffer because I'm a compulsive downloader

>>69115882
I was going to use the remaining 12 today....fuck that apparently.

>>69115775
what.cd was disappointing more often than not when it came to obscurities though

>>69115882
Still had 11 tokens ;_;

>>69116024
shit soulseek niggas beleive

>>69116024
this

No doubt a successor will rise in its place. Stay strong, friendos. The way to retaliate against this is to get a new tracker off the ground ASAP and upload upload upload. We have the files, we can make torrent sharing great again. And make it ratio less.

>>69116024
True but it beat Kickass, Pirate Bay, Rutracker, and largely every public tracker when you wanted things a bit further than /mu/core.

Yeah, What.CD is basically the only reliable way to get FLAC that isn't transcoded. What.CD is truly a bastion of music quality on the internet.

I love Soulseek, but come on man... don't act like Soulseek is anywhere near as reliable as what.cd for file quality.

I'm not an audiophile by any stretch of the imagination... I just download MP3 320s... but I've gotten some MP3s where I could 100% tell they were shitty transcodes.

Aside from this... what.cd kept track of which releases, etc.

Try finding a non-remaster version of Gun Club - Fire of Love; Nation of Ulysses - 13-point Plan...

It will take you download and hand-listening to 4-5 different users' uploads to figure out which is the one you are looking for.

You were always allowed to share music outside of what.cd. You just couldn't share the torrents to others outside of what.cd.

I had all my tokens and 250gb of buffer

why don't you just buy the CD?

>>69118559
And I'm saying, Soulseek never has that labelled. I've never used rutracker, are they as anal about categorizing releases as WhatCD?

Never did I claim they were obscure releases... they are just the ones I've personally had to seek out.

I have a box full of CDs I've bought off Amazon. I did that for a while... but I'm sick of that whole process. So many of the CDs come in broken cases and shit too. Just so annoying to deal with. I never even use physical CDs anyways.

>you can find it on ru or soulseek!
No music archive double and triple checked flac, v0s and the like, like what.cd did, none. The strict adherence to quality was appreciated even if it came with assholeish behavior

same lol, 8 years. rutracker & soulseek seem to be popular answers here. my accounts on other private trackers are still active, incredibly. i haven't logged in to them for years

Something else will take it's place, always does. But it will take a long time to get as big as What.cd was.

>all the people that donated money
>all the people that used seedboxes

I'm stifling tears and laughter at the same time.

How do I retrieve .torrent files from rtorrent if I didn't use a watch folder?

I hope this means that people on here actually start sharing harder to find music.

You don't understand. Sad.

>>69119058

I think the hardest part of losing what isn't the music (since anything is possible to find) but the vast amounts of formats that music came in is going to be lost forever. no more comparing rips and teamsters with proper flac/v0 is heartbreaking.

I've been on what.cd since oink died. What the fuck else do I use? The only other private tracker I'm on is GimmePeers but that's not really for music.

We just have to wait and see what comes next. Remember that What was originally started by some dumbass kid (who left it to Whatman early on) running TBDev or whatever from his house, so in theory anyone could start the next big thing...

I've been on What since the site first started. I was on OiNK before that when it got shut down, fucking sucks to go through this all over again.

I hope they leave KG alone

I wouldn't call it representative of my taste at all, if anything it just shows I had so much buffer I was willing to use wcd for easily available stuff. Also I needed instrumental versions of things for reasons and it's not as easy to find as you might think.

At least I still have Empornium.

>''lots of obscure and unobtainable music gone forever''

What are some actual examples of this?

any good alternatives?

I've heard all the users of what.cd have been getting emails from the government. Is this true?

silver linings, most of that music hasn't been destroyed or lost. it's just suddenly archived across the hard drives of the people who had been seeding it
