I ask the question here as I  don't want loose ability to report duplicates by false report.  

Is it a duplicate when one file is uploaded BUT the same file + another file have already been posted a few weeks ago ?
I mean is this considered as part of a themed collection ?

Exemple :

Here's something I hadn't noticed before. Today someone posted a couple of torrents that contain two files; both files have been previously uploaded, but the thing is that both files are of the same film/scene (not two different scenes, which are a collection and therefore not duplicates). It seems to me to be a gray area; not strictly duplication, but not really a collection either. What do folks think - are these collections or duplicatets? I give the two files below:

No, it's not. Uploader simply upload same scene but different byte size

My question is about the same file, but with a set of pics along with it. One pic included in the torrent, or 100 pics; is it a duplicate if the video is that same?

I aplogize for being obtuse, but I can't seem to get a simple yes or no answer, and I see what I think is contradictory information in the forums, etc.

@kayalaan: Aha! Now I understand! The Xpirement was a kinda/sorta red herring, in that there is no video file. Thanks mucho for explaining.

So my question from Jan 7 still stands - whether a new upload of the same file but with pictures (zipped or not) is a duplicate (with the poivisio that it isn't grouped together with other files of course).

I already replied to that

The second one (this topic post) both contains images only with rar as against jpg/png breakdown pictures. No Video included in the last question regarding Xperiment which is a magazine

"The thing is, when you extract the .rar file (we allowed that for images, magazines and cartoons except for videos), the file size of that torrent is still the same, so it's more than 10% difference, i.e. not a dupe"

But in another thread titles "Bundling" yesterday you wrote:

"I've discussed this with one of our global mod and the answer is Yes, the pictures in the file is irrelevant.
We based our dupe on the file size (exact size or <10%difference) and file format."

If I'm understand both posts correctly, there's a contradiction here.

Help!  I'm blond and from Los Anegels! I need things explained super simple and clear!  ;D

Or at least that's what I understood from the Forum previously. Have I been wrong all this time?

What is the official rule here? Could a GTRU staff member please clarify?

Thanks.

There is the torrent "XPERIMENT Vol.01 - KENDO BOY" and the torrent "XPERIMENT volume one". The contents is identical (the same pictures of the same size, resolution and format type). However, "XPERIMENT volume one" is arranged as a single RAR file while "XPERIMENT Vol.01 - KENDO BOY" (which is younger) is the subdirectory with pictures. I reported that these are the duplicates (however, no reply yet). Is it really true that the packing/repacking of the files creates new torrent which is formally different in its format?

The thing is, when you extract the .rar file (we allowed that for images, magazines and cartoons except for videos), the file size of that torrent is still the same, so it's more than 10% difference, i.e. not a dupe

Lately I've noticed duplicates with a twist; a dupliacted file, plus a zip file.  In the example i give below there's nothing in the description indicating what is in the zip file. Would such a case be considered a dupliacte?

Same file size (the video) and format, yes, it is a dupe. However there is an exception to this rule, when a single torrent is also in another torrent which is a part of a themed collection then it is not consider a dupe.

Uploading rule #2  https://www.gaytor.rent/rules.php#102

In most (but not all) cases, the zip file contains photos that the studios provide alongside the video on their sites.

In your instance, you can click on the "Num files" and see that the zip is "SS_XavierRyan_BillySaint_JustinCross_2400highres.zip".  The 'highres' is an indicator of high-resolution photos.

Whether one of these posts counts as a dupe, hope you get a response.

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.

So in case where 1 or both of the torrent is/are dead, you cannot make a dupe report.

@MrMazda:

Also, do not forget that there are two other things to take into account when determining whether or not a torrent is a duplicate….. They are:

1. Format Container - e.g. are both files in .avi or is one .avi and one .mp4... If the format container is different, then they are not considered a duplicate

2. File Size - If the first rule isn't applicable because the format container is the same (i.e. both files are .avi), then you need to look at the size difference. If the file size is the same, then it is a duplicate. If the file size is different, the newer upload must be a minimum of 10% different than the original torrent in order to not be classified as a duplicate.

i reported a duplicate just recently and i cannot recall i was given points for reporting

There isn't a duplicate report in the queue with your name on it, so… either it was approved as valid, and you got your 50 points (which you said you can't recall, anyway) or your report was rejected for being invalid.
