Help Center (FAQ)

AllFileBase.com is an official and fully legal file-sharing platform (BitTorrent tracker). Our goal is to provide a fast and secure infrastructure for distributing open-source software, freeware, Linux distributions, as well as public domain materials and author-approved content.

BitTorrent is one of the most efficient file-sharing systems in the world. Its main advantage is decentralization — files are downloaded not from a single central server, but in pieces from all users simultaneously. The more people download a file, the faster the download speed becomes.

You need to install a secure, modern, and ad-free BitTorrent client. We strongly recommend using open-source software:

• qBittorrent — Our main recommendation! Completely free, open-source, fast, and absolutely without ads.
• Transmission — A very lightweight and simple alternative (especially popular among macOS and Linux users).
• Deluge — Customizable program with plugin support.
• PicoTorrent — An extremely lightweight and clean application for Windows users (Secure download from the official GitHub repository).

* We do not recommend using official uTorrent or BitTorrent clients as they may contain ads and bloatware.

When you finish downloading a file, your Torrent program continues to send ("seed") this file to other users. Since AllFileBase is based on community support, it is extremely important to "seed" files even after downloading them to help others get them.

To ensure maximum reliability for software and file security, we offer an Account Verification system.

Users who have a blue tick next to their name are approved and verified by the administration. They are most commonly:

• Administration members (Moderators, Administrators).
• Original developers of the software or tools.
• Official company representatives or content owners.
• Highly trusted platform Uploaders whose files are regularly checked by virus scanners.
• Verified VIP users.

If you are a developer who wants to publish your software (or open-source project) on our platform, or if you are a long-term trusted user, you can contact the Administration. You will need to provide documents or links proving your identity and the right to distribute the specific content.

Note: Administration members and VIP users do not receive this badge automatically. It is granted only to those who have successfully passed the verification check. For most administration members, completing this verification is a mandatory requirement.

On the homepage under the login form, click on the "Forgot password?" link. You will need to enter your email address to which we will send a password reset link. Make sure to check your "Spam" folder as well!

Rating (Ratio) is the ratio of your total uploaded data volume to the downloaded.

For example, if you downloaded 2 GB, but gave back (uploaded) 1 GB to others, your rating will be 0.50.
Our platform is based on mutual sharing. To keep the right to download new files, your rating must be at least 0.50. If it drops lower, you will receive a warning and your download rights may be blocked.

There are several ways to maintain an excellent rating:

• Do not delete files: After the download is complete, do not close the Torrent program and do not stop it. Let the files be sent to other users (seed).
• Download requested files: Popular programs have many downloaders, so you will share (upload) the file back faster.
• Become a Donor: By supporting platform server maintenance (in the shop), you can receive additional bonuses and a rating increase.

To get maximum speed and avoid Internet Service Provider (ISP) blocking, specify incoming connection ports in the range of 49152 to 65535 in your torrent client settings. Please do not use standard ports (e.g., 6881-6889) because many operators automatically reduce speed for them.

Since AllFileBase is an official and legal tracker, it is strictly forbidden to distribute pirated content (unlicensed movies, game crack files, stolen commercial programs).

Allowed content includes:

• Open-source software and projects.
• Free software (Freeware and Shareware).
• Linux installation files (Ubuntu, Mint, Debian ISO, etc.).
• Non-copyrighted or Public Domain materials.
• Software creators' officially permitted demo / trial editions.

We take security very seriously. If you see an uploaded file that violates copyright or contains malware, please immediately use the "Report" button on the torrent description page. Our moderators will check it and delete the file.

If you are a developer or regularly follow new open-source software updates and want to publish them to our users, go to the "Uploader Application" section to submit an application. We are always happy for new collaborations!
