Thread: File Mirroring, is it allowed??

  1. #1
    Quick question, is file mirroring allowed on private trackers? Meaning, I download a file from tracker "A" and notice that tracker "B" has the same file, can I just seed the file which I downloaded from tracker "A" on "B"?

    I just registered on a tracker, not sure if I'm allowed to mention names but it starts with a Z and according to their FAQ, it's considered cheating.

    Is this an unwritten rule on other trackers or is it allowed?

    Thanks guys, I'll keep checking their faqs when I'm unsure. I would hate to get banned on my early bittorrent career.

    also some sites don't allow pre-seeding so you better ask the staff on your trackers about that.

    Another stupid question, pre-seeding means seeding before downloading, right?

    That means pre-seed on the B tracker because you don't download nothing from there but still seed.

    There are a few trackers which don't allow it, although most of the trackers are ok with this......So you should better ask before doing it just to make sure if you care about your accounts
