Downloading rules - By not following these rules you will loose download privileges!

  • Do NOT Hit N Run!! You MUST seed each torrent to at least a 0.7 ratio. However if after 72 hours of continuous seeding with 0 leechers on that torrent, then and only then may you stop your torrent below the minimum ratio. If you do not follow to these rules you will be warned regardless of your class.
  • Everyone should aim for a 1.0 torrent ratio. We realize this may not always be possible, this is why we have the H&R rule. Due to the great amount of free torrents on the site staff will always look at your individual torrent ratio first and foremost. Your global ratio comes second. If you have an excessively low global ratio your account may be disabled.
  • Only 5 unique IP's are allowed on one torrent under one user account. Any more will result in an automatic ban, so think twice before posting .torrents elsewhere

Invite rules - By violating these rules you will loose your invite privilege!

  • Invites are issued based on your user class. The tracker will automatically add invites to your account as you move up the ranks. Please see http://thedvdclub.org/classes.php for details.
  • Additional invites can be issued at any staff members’ discretion. If you have invited several bad users it is likely you will not receive anymore invites, and you may loose any existing invites you may have. So be careful who you give your invites to!

Avatar Guidelines - Please try to follow these guidelines

  • The allowed formats are .gif, .jpg and .png.
  • Be considerate. Resize your images to a width of 150 px and a size of no more than 150 KB.

For now this is just a guideline but it will be automatically enforced in the near future.
