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:

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:
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"
-
Maybe another reason is that the original one is under another title (or the way uploader "coded" their file name)
-
Could also be the other torrent was dead, then a user started seeding that "dead"torrent. Which then could cause a dupe report by a user. Then the old torrent to go dead again after the report.
-
So I guess that means to check the dead torrents :hmmm: Thanks everyone for your info! :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:
