How to get an invitation to the torrent tracker
what.cd ?
What.cd - closed tracker with a bunch of music in good quality. I don’t like asking for an invite in forums and popular blogs in “
Invites to what.cd ”
topics with a thousand comments.
There is a simple official way. To do this, you need to know English, be able to use IRC and have an idea about audio formats and codecs. Well, and how to use torrents, of course.
Briefly: to get an invite, you need to connect to the IRC channel
# what.cd-invites on the
irc.what.cd server and have a simple interview.

Further details.
Preparatory operations
1. Measure the speed of your internet connection at
speedtest.net . Save the link to the measurement result of the form:
www.speedtest.net/result/my_result.png2. Refresh your knowledge of audio codecs, encoding formats, lossy and lossless compression, and transcoding on
Hydrogenaudio Knowledgebase . Take this item responsibly.

We start the interview
3. Launch your favorite IRC client. Many people like
mIRC . I'm quite satisfied with the client, built into
the Opera browser .
- Connect to the irc.what.cd server , port 6667 .
- Go to the channel # what.cd-invites .
Do not ask for an invite on other channels - you are most likely banned.
4. Type! Queue and a link to your
speedtest.net speed measurement, which was prepared in the first step.
For example
:! Queue www.speedtest.net/result/1234567890.pngYou will join the queue waiting for an interview.
5. When your turn comes up, in a separate room you will be asked a couple of dozen questions. For example:
- Order the highest quality: V2, 320, Flac.
- Can you explain what a lossless audio codec is? Also, give two examples.
- What is V0? What about V2?
It is necessary to answer in your own words, you do not need to copy from sites. Noticed and banned. Answer quickly desirable. If you do not know the answer to a question, write that you do not know.
When you successfully answer all the questions (if you are not an idiot and attentively treated the second item), you will be asked for an e-mail address and will send you a coveted invite. The whole procedure took me 20 minutes.
It is also recommended to pre-read this page:
# what.cd-invites Introduction . You will still be offered to read it while you wait for the queue for an interview.
People conducting interviews are quite lively and sane. Invite, for some reason, stubbornly did not want to come to my email address, I wrote about it in the same place in the chat. They sent it again, he did not come again, then they sent it to another address.
Good luck.
Original article in my blog .Note. I do not distribute invites to what.cd.Upd.pointum sent the
following message:
I rebooted the modem several times to change the IP and I could enter the room.
From the correspondence during the interview:
what.cd: Since that blog post, we've been seeing alot of Russians here!
me: At some moment I thought you've banned russian ips
what.cd: I believe we did.
me:: D
what.cd: Just banned from here, not the entire site.
Thanks for the post. Just got an invite, I hope I find something that was not found.
Upd. 12/25/2010 a person wrote me in ICQ, and asked to place an add-on.
I wanted to ask you about a small favor. You have a post on Habré about how to get an invite on What.CD. Could you add a couple of links to it? I am an interviewer with "cotton", translated into a Russian site for preparing for an interview, it will be more convenient for people.
As long as he is hung up for offsite, they will be prompted to have links in your post - this is the first popular search result for the query “invite on What.CD”.
