      The sentence in the title above is ambiguous.

      Suppose torrent A has size 1105 and torrent B has size 1000. Can they be considered duplicates?

      — On one hand: size(A)÷size(B)=1.105, so A exceeds B by more than 10 %; ⇒ not dupes.
      — On the other hand: size(B)÷(size(A)=0.90497…, so B is only 9.5 % smaller than A; ⇒ potential dupes.
      🤔

        Sorry for the blunder in the title… 🙀
        Of course ducliacates → duplicates.

          As per site rules : https://www.gaytorrent.ru/rules.php#102
          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.

          You must do a TORRENT SEARCH first to ensure you are not uploading a DUPLICATE.
          A different quality version (size) or format of existing content is acceptable.
          A repost of content that has been deleted is also acceptable.
          Regardless ...

            Your reply has nothing to do with my question.
            I was pointing out that the site rule regarding the size comparison is lacking accuracy.

            Namely the expression “similar size (<10 % difference)”, that you are quoting has two possible meanings.
            Rephrasing my 1rst message: if two files have respective sizes 1,000 and 1,105 then, depending on how one proceeds, the so-called “difference” may be considered as > 10 %, or < 10 %…

              By your example, if the original is 1105 and the reported dupe is 1000 then the formula for that is 1105/1.1 = 1004.54, clearly not a dupe.

              But when the orig is 1000 and the reported dupe is 1105, then the formula would be 1000x1.1=1100, also not a dupe.

              You always multiply or divide the 10% on the original torrent

                @Douseikekkon I wonder how you got to the conclusion that that's how you compare duplicates.
