Why do people do this? Readmes and nfo files take up literal kilobytes.... even over hundreds or even thousands of downloads, at most it's going to take up a few extra megabytes of download/storage, they're not saving anything at all. And it can be nice when the nfo includes all the releaser's original encode settings and stuff.
Extra files are messy.
true, but my jellyfin server doesn't care. if i didn't want it, i would've unselected it when importing the torrent.
Wouldn't that still leave the user waiting unless they too unselected it?
Why do I need to know that “Torrent was downloaded from TheSiteINeverVisited.nfo”? It's just extra noise I don't need.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
