How to get an invite to what.cd
PaulSpoerry | June 2, 2008
Want an invite to What.cd? There are two ways of going about it… the first requires somebody who can get you an invite, the other is by hitting up the IRC channel for what.cd.
Before attempting this you need to know that what.cd is a ratio site. In other words, this ain’t PirateBay. You can’t just leech until you’re done and drop the file. You need to maintain a ratio on the site. So only try to join What.cd if you are serious about keeping a good upload/download ratio and just not going to join just to download as much as possible and not upload anything.
To join follow these steps:
Download an IRC client. I’ve used MIRC for years… give it a shot. You can download it here www.mirc.com.
Once installed join the What.cd IRC server: irc.what.cd Port 6667.
Once you have connected join the channel #what.cd-invites
DO NOT GO TO ANOTHER CHANNEL AND ASK FOR AN INVITE, YOU WILL BE BANNED FROM THE CHANNEL OR IGNORED
When in the channel read the instructions that are given.
UPDATE: Ok the admins of what.cd contacted me and there is an update to the process. You MUST provide a speedtest.net screenshot before entering the queue. Also obtain some screenshots of your ratios on other private sites , if you belong to them. If you want the full scoop they have a handy link with full info here.
When you get invited to an interview room you will be asked a few question about yourself, how much you know about music e.g. do you know what a FLAC file is? You might need to provide an image of your upload/download ratio of another private Bittorrent site(s). You’ll be asked to show your upload/download speed from SpeedNet So before you go to an interview room be sure to have uploaded your upload/download ratio to a personal web space, Imageshack, etc for quick access.
Type !queue speedtest_link_goes_here into the channel and you will be added to the waiting list to be interviewed for an invite. Be patient waiting in the queue can take friggen forever, seriously… up to 4 hours or even longer. It must be worth it though, they’re serious about the people the let in.
If they accept you and are willing to give you an invite they will ask for your email address and then they will send you an invite. Follow the instructions and you’re off to go. The process is long… but worth it.

Now that’s just great. I’m an expat living in Korea, and just for that, my IP is automatically banned from the IRC invite server. Reason? “Your country is full of spammers”. Thanks for the primal discrimination guys…
You’re not the only one, Elut…I face a country ban as a Lithuanian as well, for no real reason. Gotta love profile discrimination, eh?
Might want to find a friendlier private tracker instead.
ZeroBot has kicked you from #what.cd-invites (Your entire country [India] is banned from the invites channel. This is because of the very high proportion of users from this area being bad for the site – either leechers, traders, sellers and/or cheaters.)
Nice seems they really hate Asians and they are going to pay for this for sure

Hi. I’m having a little problem here. Hope somebody can help me out… My freaking country is banned from joining the IRC invite channel for What.CD. (To be honest, I’m not sure how this happened since 48 hours before I was taking the interview and messed up in the V0 and V1 questions…) anyway… The thing is that after my 48 hours temp ban I tried to rejoin to do the interview again and guess what… My country was banned!… Well, If anyone is willing to give me (or trade for a Demonoid invite) a What.CD invite I’d be very grateful. I have the ratio screenshots from private trackers to prove I’m not a “hit n’ run” type of guy and the direct link to my speedtest…. Anyways. Thanks in advance to anyone who volunteers to give me a hand.
I managed to acquire unauthorized access to an account and gave myself an invite.

Use a proxy from another country and you can easily get around those country-bans.
Greetings,
I’m in India and I’m in a position to get a what.cd invite from an acquaintance. How could I register at what.cd? What would be the consequences of registering using proxy ? Would the tracker catch me when I login from my home connection afterwards? Or is there any other way to register since invites to India are banned. Now how if any friend helps out to register in my place from an unbanned country using my invite and email address and then I could use the account from India afterwards. Would the change in IP get my account banned ? Any valuable suggestions. Kindly opine. Thanks in advance.
Regards
