Right now reuploads are encouraged ("Reuploads/mirrors of these fangames are advised and should be placed in the game's respective download section." from ). I think not allowing these reuploads would be going pretty far, especially since most are probably just official downloads not being maintained. The missing downloads in that category are mostly jam games that the author's didn't want to keep the downloads up for, these should be quarantined until downloads are posted.

Reuploads should definitely not be used over the actual download, and I would even say reuploads should be marked as such if they aren't already.

For my own games, I wouldn't care about reuploads as long as they're versions that aren't hosted by me anymore and they are clearly marked as reuploads.
