Without the tracker and the torrent files, most of the value is gone. Its akin to a store with amazing variety and labeling, but the items themselves are a faint ghost of what they used to be, and reaching for an item gets you a handful of air.

I really miss What.cd, despite it being a nightmare to maintain a ratio on, it was the musical world's version of the Library of Alexandria. When it was snuffed out, one of the few beacons of cultural knowledge disappeared forever :(


What was built can be rebuilt.
