4. Why can't I upload a torrent?

Only team members in @rpdl.net are able to upload torrents.

5. Can you share the torrent file?

Please don't. Torrents are tied to your account and when we see people
abusing this we disable your account. Please respect our users bandwidth
and the servers that are paid for by our generous donators.

6. Can you share the link to the torrent page?

Absolutely!

7. Do we track or enforce any kind of ratio?

We never plan to enforce any kind of ratio rules. We do hope to track
statistics like amount uploaded so users can see the positive effect
they're having when seeding.

8. Do we track any logs?

We ONLY track error logs. We don't use access-logs at any of our
webservers or proxies, nor our tracker. The only information we have on
our users is your username, your password (hashed and salted) and your
passkey which we assign to your account.

9. Are there any rules regarding what torrents are banned?

As a rule of thumb, we follow F95Zone rules regarding content.

10. Are there any rules on discord?

Not really, if you want to post NSFW stuff use #nsfw. Don't be racist, 
typical stuff. In general it's pretty relaxed and easy going.

11. Are there any third party tools/integrations?

Yup! Check here https://rpdl.net/tools

12. You're a patron/subscriber for a game and you'd like us to make a torrent.

We don't accept leaks, appreciate it though!

Please ping anyone in @rpdl.net in #troubleshooting and we'll add it!

14. Do we modify game files?

We remove certain redundant files. Those files are the following:
[log.txt] [__MACOSX] [*.url]
log.txt can contain identifiable information and is not necessary.
__MACOS is a folder generated automatically on MACOS. 
.url files are redirects.
