FAQ

1. The torrent you downloaded shows as "stalled" or has an error in the tracker tab stating "400 bad request"

Your passkey isn't attached and the torrent needs to be re-downloaded. 
If you have an account, logout and log back in again. If you don't have 
an account, just use dummy-data and create one. If you see the "400 bad
request" while logged in, then logout and login again and download the 
torrent fresh.

2. How to reset password?

You can't, just make a new account instead.

3. A certain game isn't seeded, isn't updated or is in some way broken.

Please drop a message in #game-requests and we'll be sure to get it
fixed/updated.

4. Why can't I upload a torrent?

At the moment only team members in @rpdl.net are able to upload
torrents. This might change in future. If you'd like a torrent made,
please ask in #game-requests and we'll get it done for you.

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, however we're still waiting on admin permission at f95zone so
use your own discretion. We hope to have an answer soon.

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?

We respect developers wishes so if they ask, we do not provide torrents
for their games. The No-Movement list is pinned in #game-requests. As a 
rule of thumb, we also 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 a pretty relaxed, easy going discord.

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.

Absolutely, please ping anyone in the @rpdl.net group in #game-requests
and we'll be happy to!

13. We're missing something from this FAQ

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.

15. Why does donating on rpdl.net require an email address?

If you choose to donate, your email address is required as this allows
you to modify/cancel your subscription at your leisure.
NOTE: Accounts on rpdl.net are completely optional and are ONLY for
subscriptions - they're completely separate from dl.rpdl.net
