  >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.

  Just noticed. This sucks big time. For those who don't know what.cd was the successor to oink.
  For those who don't know oink was the best torrent site for music around.

  What.CD had grown to be ten times better than what oink ever was though, they had everything.
  Dunno what the fuck I'm going to do now, I like to have everything in MP3 format...

  From a news article published 6 hours ago:

  >What.cd, an invite-only music torrent website first launched in 2007, has been shut down after a
  raid by French authorities. The private tracker offered free (and often illegal) access to a
  massive, deeply thorough collection of music and was popular among audiophiles for its strict
  rules around quality and file formats. The site was created after the shutdown of another
  well-known torrent website, Oink, which operated between 2004 and 2007. Though its primary focus
  was music sharing, What.cd also permitted torrents of computer software, ebooks, and other
  content.

  i wouldnt say that at all but these community sites need to get decentralized. torrents themelves
  doesnt have a problem

>> [_] Anonymous 11/18/16(Fri)00:35:02 No.

  one could simply create a free webpage under a "throwaway account" and then link torrent files
  (torrent files saved but not directly accessible except via link on perhaps hidden search?) so
  that their friends on various forums can access files.

  the only 3 things i see wrong with it.

  1) having ip ban from free webpage site - fix by changing ip

  2) searchable via engines - fix by dont put it on main page, and have it saved as a file but only
  you know the link url

  3) management of members and torrent files - fix by being more exclusive about who the fuck you
  let have torrents or know of web page as loose lips sink all the fucking ships... looking at you

  i just dont understand why some torrent client(s) doesnt have a decentralized community thing
  built into it already

>> [_] Anonymous 11/18/16(Fri)01:13:23 No.

  >>3177886
  the torrent clients themselves are the only means in which people all this time could keep
  cropping up websites. if the torrent clients started HOSTING their own "search engine" it would
  be as though they "endorsed" piracy. this is why limewire who used to have that very feature was
  shut down - and yet all the other clients were left untouched. vuze and bittorrent existed then
  and they still exist today because of that seperation. you cant have both purposes being
  fulfilled by the same program or you lose it all when they (feds) decide to smash on it with the
  almighty ban hammer.

  now here out my second idea... and this is bring in an odd explaination via an odd analogy? i
  dont know how to say it... but hear out the whole concept.

  if one were to create a client that could

  1) connect to others and allow you a friends / block list (to protect the end user from too much
  attention)
  2) make it so you share a specific folder you would place your torrents (always within the parent
  folder of the client itself)
  3) then if you were to download one of someone else's torrents would ask what program you would
  open it with (thus making it not the torrent client's actions but instead the torrent search
  client's)
  4) and then when successfully having passed the file ask if it would kill its own process (via
  TASKKILL /im "clientnamegoeshere" /t /f

  i would be down for it.

  ...imagine skype - but not calling - instead allow you to share a folder (inside one the app's
  subfolders) that people on your "contact list" could search through within a little search box
  (having "browsing all" off by default to protect you) and thus download and then pass off the
  torrent file to a torrent client. would be awesome imo

>> [_] Anonymous 11/18/16(Fri)01:24:45 No.

  >>3177901
  oh and i forgot one thing... to protect the creator of such a beautiful idea - make the people
  who use this client connect to peers directly via some p2p protocol. no middle man shit to make
  the creators liable as the program itself would not be responsible for something incriminating as
  a membership database. it would also make the creator(s) not have the "authority" to ban an
  "account" because the client would allow you to assign a nickname based on the connection with
  that person. the connection would be ip-based directly with other clients. you would simply give
  someone your client program info (like having an ip within an ip) and let them log on to you as a
  "guest". no one could do anything to you except view and possibly download a torrent file you
  placed in the "shared" torrent folder since the client itself would not be built to have any
  other functionalities.

>> [_] Anonymous 11/18/16(Fri)03:54:56 No.

  Are trackers actually necessary for torrents to work?

  Wouldn't it be better to not have them if they can get taken down like kat managed to do?

  Also another idea would be to have a torrent file of an html page or something that is:
  -updatable via some sort of authorization
  -contains a searchable list of magnet links for torrents
  -has the metadata (comments, file information, ect.) for each torrent as well

  I don't know if torrent is the right word, but something like this would be ideal since it can't
  get taken down as easily.

  All of you people talking about solutions to torrenting, stop, it was already fixed with things
  like Tribbler and other fully decentralized systems.
  These sites don't use trackers, don't use website forums or anything.
  They are Tor, but exclusively built for torrenting. Likely even more secure than Tor since it is
  proven Tor has been compromised through node saturation, an issue stupidly harder to do on these.

  Torrent SITES are dead. But the concept isn't.
  All these retarded media companies are only pushing people deeper and deeper in to encryption,
  soon making it impossible for them to find.

  But that's the problem isn't it? Without some sort of aggregation of torrents, there's no way
  that the average person will find torrents for content they want; at least, there isn't a way
  that I know of.

  no i dont think dc++ would work because of the requirements people can put on their "hub". i just
  spent the best of 10 minutes lurking around finding all the info i can about dc++. i dont like
  its setup because it is too constricting with the requirements. also do not like it because "hub"
  is simply another centralization in which i am trying to avoid completely. what i am refering to
  is a "true" p2p experience. not anything other than a completely decentralized client in which
  you share with people your connection info if you want them in your "contacts" and then you can
  at will put a torrent file into the folder to share with all the people on your list.

  i have found that setting up utorrent with very secure methods and disabling ipv6 completely so
  that windows doesnt even believe it is installed works perfect to keep all the baddies out. the
  entire purpose of the client woould be to limit possible baddies - feds and leach only fuckers
  from accessing the torrent files entirely. this is probably the most secure way since people cant
  snoop if only trusted people have the torrent file to begin with

  Private Tracker != secure from tracking. It means you need invites to join it.

  also since you now want my attention on the whole "private tracker" fiasco... all it takes is one
  numbnut to give an invite to the wrong person and then you are flooded with an undercover fed.
  private tracking is ojnly as secure as the people who share it.

  but to include a setup in which you have "true p2p" it would be an invite to your torrent file,
  never revealing the tracker because the feds shouldnt be getting invites into your contacts list
  any way (i am under the assumption you are refering to my requirements of a client)

  the retards who invited without caution into what.cd should be shunned from existance from us as
  well. this is why i said its too loose and therefore cannot remain anon friendly. we need to

  Tribler only cares about security internal to the network, not external.
  If you load a torrent up that refers to external resources, the burden of security IS ON YOU.

  America doesn't join wars to win them, it only does so to battle test it's weapons and combat
  forces and calm public sentiment.

  The US military is the largest, the best funded, the best equipped, possibly even the best
  trained fighting force in the world, if we REALLLY wanted to steamroll someone's shit we could.
  But we don't, because at best American interests really only require a little disruption, covert
  action, puppet dictators and banana republics. There's little that can be gained by real war we
  haven't already managed to gain more easily already, oh don't get me wrong though, protracted
  incursions are a thing, but war, real war, we don't bother with it.

  >You destroyed the Middle East and created a worse enemy. MURRICA logic.
  Except they aren't really a threat to the US at all, what, the US has suffered, maybe 5000 total
  casualties in it's borders over 50 years of destabilizing and controlling the middle east, while
  the ME and it's neighbors have suffered 10s of millions? Oh yea, and a few thousand of those
  deaths allowed us to justify an armed incursion and control the flow of oil for the next decade
  producing untold billions in economic benefits for the US. That sure is stupid right?
