Regarding the <10 % difference rule in comparing possible duplicate
-
The sentence in the title above is ambiguous.
Suppose torrent A has size 1105 and torrent B has size 1000. Can they be considered duplicates?
— On one hand: size(A)÷size(B)=1.105, so A exceeds B by more than 10 %; ⇒ not dupes.
— On the other hand: size(B)÷(size(A)=0.90497…, so B is only 9.5 % smaller than A; ⇒ potential dupes.

Sorry for the blunder in the title…
Of courseducliacates→ duplicates. -
As per site rules : https://www.gaytor.rent/rules.php#102
DUPLICATE files are not allowed and will be removed.
You are expected to run a search for duplicates prior to submitting a torrent.
Duplicates may be accepted when part of a themed collection.
A file is considered a duplicate if an existing torrent has the same format and similar size (<10% difference)
and has at least one seeder.
You must do a TORRENT SEARCH first to ensure you are not uploading a DUPLICATE.
A different quality version (size) or format of existing content is acceptable.
A repost of content that has been deleted is also acceptable.

Your reply has nothing to do with my question.
I was pointing out that the site rule regarding the size comparison is lacking accuracy.Namely the expression “similar size (<10 % difference)”, that you are quoting has two possible meanings.
Rephrasing my 1rst message: if two files have respective sizes 1,000 and 1,105 then, depending on how one proceeds, the so-called “difference” may be considered as > 10 %, or < 10 %… -
By your example, if the original is 1105 and the reported dupe is 1000 then the formula for that is 1105/1.1 = 1004.54, clearly not a dupe.
But when the orig is 1000 and the reported dupe is 1105, then the formula would be 1000x1.1=1100, also not a dupe.
You always multiply or divide the 10% on the original torrent

@Douseikekkon I wonder how you got to the conclusion that that's how you compare duplicates.
