Description

Waffles is one of the best music trackers in the world. It exists for 7 years now, and it was created from the ashes of OiNK - Oink's Pink Palace 2004- 2007 Was a prominent BitTorrent tracker which operated from 2004 to 2007. Following a two-year investigation by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) and the British Phonographic Industry (BPI), the site was shut down on 23 October 2007, by British and Dutch police agencies. These music industry organisations described OiNK as an "online pirate pre-release music club", whereas former users described it as one of the world's largest and most meticulously maintained online music repositories. About a month before the shut-down, music magazine Blender elected OiNK's creator, British software engineer Alan Ellis, to their The Powergeek 25 — the Most Influential People in Online Music list. Alan Ellis was tried for conspiracy to defraud at Teesside Crown court, the first person in the UK to be prosecuted for illegal file-sharing, and found not guilty on 15 January 2010. Currently they have 272,859/299,468 torrents indexed which would make any music lover go crazy. To that collection they add hundreds each day.At Waffles the main content that can be found is, indeed, music. But other neat stuff can be found, also, such as Apps for both Windows, Mac and Linux; Audiobooks and E-books and of course E-learning Videos.Since music nowadays can be found in all sorts of formats, Waffles offers a very large range itself. For the people that like HQ music, you should know that that's where Waffles is best. Plenty of FLAC can be found on Waffles, but the tracker has a special category for the best of the best. It's called The Waffle Iron , and each torrent labelled as such is expected to be of the finest quality.A lot of people are categorizing Waffles as hard-to-seed tracker, and I couldn't agree more. But, despite that is really easy to maintain a ratio. Considering that everybody is allowed to upload, there shouldn't be any troubles keeping a nice ratio.
