Welcome new users! Hello Club-goers new and old! There have been a lot of changes in the torrent landscape in the last several months and many people affected by those changes have found their way here - we welcome you and hope you have found a place to call home. Of course, new members bring new, and old, challenges and we would like to take this opportunity to inform and remind everyone of the following points: You are allowed one (1) account per lifetime - period. Please contact the staff if you ever experience difficulty logging in and do not try to create another account. Do not share DigitalCoreClub torrents, or your 'announce key' which is encoded into your private DCC torrents, with anyone. Do not post DCC torrents to websites such as reddit and do not upload DCC torrents to 'debrid' sites. Anything that exposes an announce key to the public endangers the entire community and will resulting in an instant, and permanent, ban when detected. Please review the rules, FAQ and pinned forum posts. Detailed answers to almost all of your questions can be found in these resources. If you still have a question, please send a Staff PM or visit us on IRC. Torrent comments are reserved for sharing your reflections on the content of that torrent and not for technical issues or requests. Any concern or issue related to downloading, unpacking (if compressed) or using the download (video playback, game installation, etc.) should be communicated to the staff via the Report button on the torrent page. There are only a couple of people that review the comments on a daily basis and a Report or Staff PM will get our attention much faster than commenting. The reason why this is important, and the reason why we have a reminder just above the comment field, is that the vast majority of issue comments are simply incorrect - out-of-date media players, not rechecking large torrents and a myriad of other issues that can't be reproduced by the staff. And this is the main point - if you send a report about a technical concern we will generally lock the torrent, review the contents and then take appropriate action much faster than stumbling across a random torrent comment. And all of this will happen much faster if you use the Report button! Downloading speed - this is a complex topic, but new members should remember that DCC (and indeed any private tracker) is going to have a mix of new, recently-uploaded torrents and older torrents that are going to vary in terms of how many users are seeding and how seeders are serving any given torrent. The rules of thumb are newer torrents are often, but not always, hosted on a seedbox which can be uploaded at very high speeds and older torrents which are generally hosted on residential systems that typically have much less bandwidth to work with. Yes, it can be frustrating to have to wait for that 4K version of "Howard The Duck" to finish downloading but this isn't Netflix - you are sharing with thousands of other users just like yourself and speeds are going to vary from user to user and torrent to torrent. So please don't leave torrent comments about downloading speed, try the Request seed button...and just be patient. So again - a warm welcome from ..........and we hope to see you in the forums!
