<![CDATA[Duplicate torrents]]>I am unclear about the issue of Duplicate torrents.  Before uploading a new torrent I do a search for the title before uploading my own torrent.  So I am surprised when notified that my torrent has been deleted as it's a duplicate.  When doing my search I don't include dead torrents and am wondering if this is the problem?  Anyone know the answer or can offer advice?  Would really be appreciated.  :hmmm: :thx:

Yes, you must include dead torrents in the search before uploading and if there is a dead, get it removed before you make your upload.

It is as well possible that your search term approach needs to be tuned. See our guide there for tips:

First… thanks for the info and the link.  After reading thru the entire article I can now see what I'm doing wrong.  I just didn't realize it would be a full time job to upload torrents :lolp:  Oh well.. live and learn.  :thx:

notified that my torrent has been deleted as it's a duplicate.

Unless I'm mistaken, if the torrent which caused your upload to be flagged as a duplicate is inactive (dead) you should report this to the help desk, as the policy favors having inactive torrents being replaced by their duplicates.

As Popper puts it:

@Popper:

If the original is dead at the time of review, it will be deleted and the report dismissed. We won't try to revive the original"
