IMO the NFOs are very important, for many reasons, they usually have all the info about a release, in my case I like movies with subs, only the NFO tells me if the release is useful for me or not. For applications and games are almost necessary because the NFO file itīs where the info needed for making work properly is.
Plus many of them are really funny, and I love the art that some have.
Apps and games to check specs etc etc
Not looking for anything
There are 10 kinds of people who know binary. Those who do, and those who don't.
i only read them when i need a serial or instruction for a software
Nfo's are nice for dvd-rips. They tell you everything you need to know so that you can make the best call on if you want to dl it or not. TBH even if I can't see an info on one tracker it's so easy to pick one up elsewhere.
I always looked at NFO's as a work of art I mean yes they hold useful info but at the same time you have to give props to the people that take the time to design some of the more elaborate NFO's.
I personally have always liked the creative input put in by some of the Ascii groups.
It's just general knowledge, every linux user who has ever compiled source code to install a program knows that he must read the README for installation instructions.Wikipedia?
Or you are like 40 years old?
I have read a lot about File Sharing stuff, I can't pin down exactly where I have read about NFO.
I'm not that old, I'm 29 but thanks. When I read a NFO file for the first time in the 90s I realized that it was essentially the same as README. You don't need to be a Guru to notice it lol
NFO's have been around since the BBS days for anyone wanting a history lesson look here-> http://www.textfiles.com/
Some of the first NFO's as they would later become known as are documented on that site.
