### Atomic Move
|
||||
|
||||
!!!info
|
||||
|
||||
Also known as: [Instant Move](#instant-move)
|
||||
|
||||
This action moves the file instantly, rather than copying it to a new location and deleting it from the original.
|
||||

## C
|

|
||||
### CF
|
||||
|
||||
Depending on its context, whether discussing hosting or media management applications, this can refer to **CloudFlare** or [Custom Formats](#custom-format).
|
||||
|
||||
### Cross-Seed
|
||||
|
||||
The act of [seeding](#seeder) the same torrent files or data across multiple [trackers](#tracker) without re-downloading. It also refers to a [software application of the same name](https://www.cross-seed.org){:target="\_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"} that automates this process.
|
||||
|
||||
`Cross-Seed` and `crossseed` or `xseed` often refer to the application, while `cross seed` or `xseed` can refer to the action.
|
||||
|
||||
### Custom Format
|
||||
|
||||
!!!info
|
||||
|
||||
Also known as: [CF](#cf)
|
||||
|
||||
A feature that applies pattern matching to a release based on information inferred from the release name on the corresponding indexer during a search. Users can customize patterns in a Custom Format, which can then be assigned individual scores within each [Quality Profile](#quality-profile).
|
||||
|
||||
After the release has been imported, when using the TRaSH recommended naming scheme, the Custom Format score will automatically be updated to match the properties of the _actual_ media file, rather than strictly by its original naming alone.

### DMCA Takedown
|

|

!!!info
|

|

Also known as: DMCA
|
||||
|
||||
DMCA is an abbreviation for [`Digital Millennium Copyright Act`](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Millennium_Copyright_Act){:target="\_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"}.
|
||||
|
||||
The DMCA Takedown process allows creators to send notices to hosting/service providers that have material that infringes on their copyright.
|
||||
|
||||
When a DMCA takedown request is issued to a [Usenet Service Provider (USP)](#usp), parts of the release may end up missing or incomplete, leaving you unable to complete the extraction.

### Indexer
