Unfortunately ...
Uploading Rules [paragraph - 08]- Do not upload VIDEO packed in archives (zip, rar, ...), password protected files,
or material that needs to acquire a license for playing
However you can change or rename .zip, .rar
ex. xxx**.rename** [xxx**.zip**] ...
and make a note from the origin file name to avoid confusion ... - Do not upload VIDEO packed in archives (zip, rar, ...), password protected files,

@john32123666 I'm actually trying to share a game folder which is in rar format. And also I don't know how to rename the .rar file to .rename. Observation. the game only works inside its folder.

In windows Folder : [Top Left Toolbar Option]
click - Organize/Folder and search options - uncheck show hidden files, folders and drive
and hit apply and OK then rename .zip then restore default ...or unzip the file package a bit more simple
and post entire folder and files in one directory ... -
@Santosb2 technically, you are not supposed to upload RAR files, but in the case of binaries, that is often done. I think you can upload them, but you could change the extension from filename.RAR to filename.RAR-RENAME
There are many ways to rename a file. Try using file explorer (or whatever it is that you are using to locate the file on your hard drive) and right-click on it.
you could also use the CMD command, and use CD\ and CD whatever to navigate to the file.. and then type MOVE filename.rar filename.new or RENAME filename.rar filename.new -

Nothing against it in the rules. They simply say not to upload video packed in archives, so all good in this case.

You don't need to upload it in any compressed format, if that's the only issue you're facing.
You can extract everything and upload the folder instead of uploading a single file. You can easily do that regardless of if you're using QuickTorrentMaker or creating your torrent manually from within your client.
It's safer that way and people get to know that's actually inside the game folder.
If you think there's any additional steps to manage to play the game you can just add that to your torrent description.
