      Hello,
      I need clarifications regarding rules 2 (Duplicate) and 5 (Multiple torrents).

      Rule 2) Do I understand it correctly that if I download a torrent from this site and re-encode it in h265 and the difference in size is >10% it wouldn't be considered a duplicate?
      Rule 5) If multiple torrents are uploaded simultaneously "they MUST be completed within 24 hours". Does "completed" mean that at least 1 person has to download to 100%?

      Thank you.

        YES that is correct, BUT you MUST PUT "x265 HEVC" in the torrent title, to differentiate it from the original, and ALSO to caution members that they will need a FAST, relatively NEW computer, in order to play your re-encoded video. I will also point out that typical settings for HEVC encoding should result in a file that's about HALF the size of the original, if you've used the correct settings.

        Some confusion regarding this question, since your question suggests BREAKING THE RULES by uploading MORE THAN ONE TORRENT AT A TIME.

        The rules say YOU SHOULD ONLY UPLOAD ONE TORRENT AT A TIME.

        Then… you seed this uploaded torrent, and wait until at least three other members have finished downloading it... before moving on to uploading your next torrent. This insures quick uploading of what you're sharing, and minimizes frustrations at the downloader's end.

        Take care,

          Given that the torrent is not visible until i start seeding it, can I upload multiple torrents at once and then start seeding them one by one as soon as the previous has reached the 3 seed threshold?

          Thank you.
