87
+              Private torrent trackers succeed when they offer quality niche content and a comfy interface.
88
+              This isn't an NCBI data dump but a library of annotated info hashes that tomorrow's networks can ingest.
89
+              Do not upload a torrent unless you intend to seed until there are at least 3 copies.
90

96
+              These kinds of additions are allowed if they serve a relevant purpose.
97
+              Enclosing a GPG-signed hash of your data isn't a bad idea at all.

124
+              Each torrent should be a single folder so we can manage them easier.
125
+              Please avoid unnecessary nested folders inside your torrent.
126
+              Use one of the examples below for your main folder.

-              <strong>Files within directories should have meaningful names.</strong>

164
-              <strong>Files should sort appropriately.</strong>
165
-              If your upload contains multiple parts, they should sort in the file manager according to the part number (use leading zeroes).
166
-              Torrents that do not follow this rule are trumpable.
135
+              I also strongly recommend you compress only large files or long image series, and not simply compress the entire dataset.
136
+              This makes it easier to partially seed large datasets, work with discrete parts of the data, and know what's on disk.

170
-              <strong>Avoid creating unnecessary nested folders inside your properly named directory.</strong>
171
-              A torrent with unnecessary nested folders is trumpable by a torrent with such folders removed.
172
-              For single-part torrents, all files must be included in the main torrent folder.
173
-              For multi-part torrents, the main torrent folder may include sub-folders that hold the file contents for each of the parts.

142
+              Remove all .DS_Store, Thumbs.db, nfo files, and other junk files before making the torrent.
143
+              It should be "clean."
144
+              You're encouraged to keep Git repos, structured data reports, readmes, and other useful annotations.
145
+              Files should sort appropriately: use leading zeroes.

-              Do not add additional information about the author in the author field unless the work credits the author in that manner.
191
-              It is recommended that you search existing torrents for the author name so that you can be sure that you name the author the exact same way.
192
-              A torrent with a proper artist name will be grouped with the existing torrents for that artist on a common artist page, and thus will be easy to find.
193
-              Capitalization problems will also make a torrent trumpable.
194
-              Labeling the author incorrectly prevents your torrent from being grouped with the other torrents for the same author.

-            Your torrent may be deleted as a dupe if the older torrent is not reported because the most recent upload is considered a duplicate.

-            <strong>Torrents that have been inactive (unseeded) for two weeks may be trumped by the identical torrent (reuploaded).</strong>
412
-            If you have the original torrent files for the inactive torrent, it is preferable to reseed those original files instead of uploading a new torrent.
413
-            Uploading a replacement torrent should be done only when the files from the original torrent cannot be recovered or are unavailable.
