Yea sometimes I’ll exclude the .nfo from my downloads. Thankfully the tracker I’m on now disallows any files that aren’t media in their uploads.
That feature makes sense to aggregate search results from multiple public trackers, but if you (like me) use private trackers then it’s almost always easier to just go to the actual website for your search. Not to mention any automation software such as the *arr stack make that feature obsolete. It’s definitely a cool feature, but not useful for everyone.
Doesn’t Trash Guides prefer larger files though? Iirc if you just do everything as they recommend you’ll always be grabbing the highest quality stuff available, which is the opposite of what this person wants.
Never heard of gnu taler. Looks very promising.
