-
2
Enable DHT/PEX Only When Allowed Info
DHT (Distributed Hash Table) and PEX (Peer Exchange) should be disabled for private torrents from this tracker. These are automatically disabled for private torrents in most clients, but please verify your settings.
-
3
No Hit-and-Run Downloads Critical
You must seed every torrent you download for a minimum of 72 hours OR until you reach a ratio of 1.0 on that torrent, whichever comes first. Hit-and-run behavior damages the community and will result in warnings or bans.

One Connection Per Torrent Warning
Do not download the same torrent from multiple IP addresses or clients simultaneously. Only one connection per torrent is allowed per user. Multi-seeding (seeding from multiple locations) may be allowed with staff approval.
-
5
Do Not Modify Downloaded Torrents Info
Do not rename, modify, or alter torrent files or their contents while seeding. This can cause piece verification failures and harm other peers. Complete the download fully before making any changes.
-
6
Report Download Issues Info
If you encounter issues with a download (corrupted files, missing content, malware), please report it immediately using the report function. Do not leave negative comments without first trying to resolve the issue.
-
7
Respect Bandwidth Limits Info
While there are no hard limits on download speed, please be considerate of seeders. If you have a very high-speed connection, consider limiting your download speed to allow others fair access to bandwidth.
Uploading Rules
-
1
No Duplicate Uploads Warning
Search the tracker before uploading to ensure your content doesn't already exist. Duplicates will be removed. Exceptions: Different quality/format versions, proper releases replacing scene releases, or significantly better encodes.
-
2
Proper Naming Convention Warning
Use clear, descriptive names following standard conventions. Include: Title, Year, Quality, Source, Codec, and Group (if applicable). Example: "Movie.Name.2024.1080p.BluRay.x264-GROUP" or clean formatted titles with relevant details.
-
3
Complete and Accurate Descriptions Warning
Provide detailed, accurate descriptions including: Technical specifications, screenshots (for video content), tracklist (for music), contents list (for software/games), and any relevant information. Misleading descriptions will result in torrent removal and warnings.
-
4
Select Correct Category Info
Always select the most appropriate category for your upload. Miscategorized torrents may be moved or removed. If unsure, contact staff before uploading.
-
5
Quality Standards Warning
Uploads must meet minimum quality standards. No cam recordings, severely compressed files, or intentionally low-quality content. Video should be properly encoded, audio should be clear, and software should be functional.
-
6
No Malicious Content Critical
Uploading content containing viruses, malware, ransomware, or any malicious code is strictly prohibited. All uploads are scanned, and violators will be permanently banned and potentially reported.
-
7
Seed Your Uploads Critical
You must seed your uploads for a minimum of 7 days or until there are at least 3 other seeders, whichever is longer. Abandoning your own uploads will result in warnings and possible upload privileges revocation.
-
8
No Password-Protected Archives Warning
Do not upload password-protected RAR/ZIP files unless the password is clearly stated in the description. Uploads requiring users to visit external sites for passwords will be removed.
-
9
Include NFO/README When Available Info
If the original release includes NFO or README files, include them in your upload. These files contain important information about the release and should not be removed.
Ratio Requirements
-

Minimum Ratio Requirements Critical
Maintain a minimum ratio based on your total downloaded amount:
• 0 - 5 GB downloaded: No minimum ratio
• 5 - 10 GB downloaded: 0.30 minimum ratio
• 10 - 25 GB downloaded: 0.40 minimum ratio
• 25 - 50 GB downloaded: 0.50 minimum ratio

• Second offense: 7 days to improve ratio
• Third offense: Download privileges suspended
• Fourth offense: Account disabled -

Freeleech Torrents Info
Freeleech torrents do not count against your download stats. Use these opportunities to build your ratio by downloading and seeding freeleech content. Staff may designate torrents as freeleech during special events.
-
4
Upload Credit Info
Uploading new content awards bonus upload credit. Original uploads receive 100% of the torrent size as upload credit. This encourages contributing new content to the community.
-
5
Bonus Points System Info
Earn bonus points by seeding torrents. Points accumulate based on seeding time and can be exchanged for upload credit. Long-term seeding of less popular torrents earns more points.
Important Notice
Ratio is calculated as: Uploaded ÷ Downloaded. A ratio of 1.0 means you've uploaded as much as you've downloaded. Always try to seed as much as possible to maintain good standing.
Forum & Comment Rules
-
1
Be Respectful in Discussions Warning
Engage in constructive discussions. Personal attacks, flame wars, and trolling are not permitted. Disagree respectfully and focus on ideas, not individuals.

Use Appropriate Sections Info
Post content in the appropriate forum sections. Off-topic posts may be moved or removed. Use the search function before creating new topics to avoid duplicates.

No Political or Religious Debates Warning
This is a file-sharing community. Political, religious, and other controversial debates are off-topic and not permitted. Such discussions tend to be divisive and detract from the community's purpose.
-
5
Helpful Comments Only Info
Torrent comments should be helpful and relevant. Report issues constructively, thank uploaders, or provide useful information. Avoid comments like "thanks" or single emojis that don't add value.

Contribute Positively Info
