<![CDATA[Eliminating Duplicates]]>I would really like to see a broader interpretation of what constitutes a duplicate.  Right now, file sizes have to the same.  I would like this to change.  I think when all else is the same (subtitles, etc) two files should have to be at least 25% to 50% larger or be considered a duplicate.

How much difference can there be between two avi's of the same movie when on is 800MB and the other is 900MB?  Not much, but between 800MB and 1200MB there is a noticable difference.

Thanks for reading.

Example:

To me, these are duplicates.

Mr. Right 901MB  https://www.gaytor.rent/details.php?id=7277b44b6695bc7d2bc2c1976c209c5681553523a7d2dc73
Mr. Right 1.09 GB https://www.gaytor.rent/details.php?id=4e9d9b4a1f3ed4eb2bc2c1976c209c56013e93e536829e59

…Is that considered a duplicate?

Most definitely not. It is duplicate FILES that are unwanted not duplicate movies. In that case the mp4 is of great use to people who are on limited bandwidth. I think rips of DVDs are always welcome

Sometimes a movie will be posted in a different format because it is a different quality.

But I wish uploaders would do a proper search before preparing an upload. It is a shame to see their work go to waste because they posted a duplicate 😞

I have been seeding a movie for what seems like an eternity that is on the DVD-R category, but is also found in MP4 format which is MUCH smaller, but still the same movie. Is that considered a duplicate?

Another thing I've come across is that while browsing you'll find two or three of the SAME files coming up. They all have the same upload time-stamp and are the same file-size and i think are genuinely the same and not duplicates, but the file just appears more than once on the picture browse screen.

So, why does it appear more than once? Is it method for promoting new uploads or..?

Chalk it up to a glitch in the system list a torrent twice on the search page. If you look and open up the detail page of both listed torrents they are the same one.

@bjk1961:

Whomever approved it may have been misled in that the two files appear with different dates in their titles (the file names themselves, not the names listed on the two torrent page headers). Both headers correctly date the movie as 2009, but the original avi file is inexplicably named "Mr. Right (2006)". A disinterested new-approvals check-person unfamiliar with the film could easily overlook the difference, perhaps believing it to be a remake of some sort.

Regardless of titles, bjk1961 raises an excellent point in that the newer file should have been flagged as a duplicate, as a 10% difference is too negligible a size to not be considered anything else but a duplicate.

We don't approve  torrents  , they go live as soon as they get uploaded.

In the example above, the files are not duplicates because the difference is greater than 10%, but is there really a significant difference in what is offered.  I think not.

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.

However, users ​have to report them first.  Using the report duplicate at the bottom of each torrent.  Then it will be looked over by the staff.
