Using the Site

{{ linkable_header("Torrent Colors", "torrent-colors") }}
Green entries (trusted) are: Red entries (remake) are torrents that matching any of the following: Orange entries are: Grey entries are:
{{ linkable_header("Using the Search Engine", "using-search") }}
Search results can be filtered by category, remake, trusted, and users. The results can be further sorted by size, date, seeders, leechers, completed count, and comment count.
You can combine search terms with the | operator, such as foo|bar, to match any of the words instead all of them.
To exclude results matching a certain word, prefix them with -, e.g. foo -bar, which will return torrents with foo in the name, but not those which have bar in the name as well.
If you want to search for a several-word expression in its entirety, you can surround searches with " (double quotes), such as "foo bar", which would match torrents named foo bar but not those named bar foo. You may also use the aforementioned | to group phrases together: "foo bar"|"foo baz". You can negate the entire group with - (e.g. -"foo bar"|"foo baz"), but not single items.
You can also use ( and ) to signify precedence, but quoted strings do not honor this. Using (hello world) "foo bar" is fine, but quoted strings inside the parentheses will lead to unexpected results.
{{ linkable_header("Reporting Torrents", "reporting") }}
If you find a torrent that breaks the rules, click the button to the right of the torrent's information page. Then, enter a reason for your report in the dialog that opens, and hit the button to confirm.
{{ linkable_header("Styling Descriptions and Comments", "styling") }}
You can style your comments and your torrent's description using Markdown. This includes adding images or linking to external websites.
To link to an external site, use [label](https://example.com) where the text in the [] square brackets is the shown text of your link, and the URL in the () parentheses is the URL your link will point to.
Embedding an image is similar. Use ![alt text](https://example.com/image.jpg) to have an image embedded in your comment or description. Note the ! exclamation mark at the beginning, denoting that this link is an image.
{{ linkable_header("Changing Your User's Avatar", "avatar") }}
The site uses the Gravatar service for user avatars. Check out Gravatar's help section for more detailed instructions.
{{ linkable_header("Deleting Your Torrent", "delete") }}
If you wish to delete one of your torrents, navigate to the torrent's page, click the Edit () icon on the top left, scroll down and hit the button.
{{ linkable_header("Getting Trusted Status", "trusted") }}
At the moment we have no established process for granting trusted status to users who did not previously have it. If and when we establish such a process it will be announced.
{{ linkable_header("IRC Help Channel Policies", "irchelp") }}

The search engine is located at the top right, and it allows users to search through the torrent titles available on the site. Results matching either word A or B can be included by typing a vertical bar between them (|). Results matching a certain word can be excluded by prefixing that word with a hyphen-minus (-). Phrases can be matched by surrounding them with double-quotes (). Search results can be filtered by category, remake, trusted, and/or A+ status, and then narrowed down further by age and size ranges as well as excluding specific users. Sorting can be done in ascending or descending order by date, amount of seeders/leechers/downloads, size, or name. The search engine adapts to the current view and makes it possible to search for specific torrents in a specific subcategory from a specific user.

Blue entries:

Uploaders are encouraged to leave a complete description of the release on the torrent information page. This is especially true for batches.

Green entries: Torrents uploaded by trusted users are green in the torrent lists.

Orange entries: Torrents must be marked as remakes if any of the following applies to the release:

Red entries: Torrents containing completed series or other complete sets are red.

Grey entries: Hidden torrents are grey.

The tools to manage your torrents are located right above the torrent's details on the information page. Editable fields are the torrent's title, category, description, information link, metadata, and the alias and key fields which are explained on the page. It is also possible to hide the torrent which prevents it from being displayed in lists or even delete it altogether.

Pseudo-anonymous uploads are torrents that will appear to be anonymous, but you can still manage them through your account.

Flagging torrents points them out for moderator review. Torrents can be flagged by clicking on the link located in the upper right corner of their information pages.

RSS is a useful Web feed that automatically updates when a torrent is added by a user. Many programs such as popular BitTorrent clients, which can be set up for automatic downloading, can make use of RSS feeds. The RSS feed link is dynamic which means that it will - like the search function - adapt to the current view, search results included.

BBCode user input is parsed by the torrent descriptions, information links, and torrent comments, and they all support basic BBCode like [b], [i], [s], [u], [left], [center], [right], [code], [email], [img], [url], [color], [font], [size], [quote], and [spoiler].

The upload page returns various HTTP status codes in order to simplify automated uploads. The following details the custom codes used:
