NFO's

[markupmaster]

I will read them occasionally if I am having some issues with what I downloaded..

[respawn40]

I'll read the NFO after I download the releases; but I don't think it's worth getting to PU just to read the NFO before downloading. That's never really made any sense to me. It's worth getting to PU not for the ability to read NFO's, but just because PU is a step towards an even better user rank, and it means you've been around longer/shared a lot.

Yes i do for my personal info especially PC games , programs

[Elecktricity]

I love reading NFO's and looking at the ascii art

It's what makes a release feel like a release imo

[OTO]

I always read them They are very useful for me

Nfo's are the quickest source to find a solutions to your problems.
Use them wisely.

[chamaeleo]

nfo is there for a reason, if only to show that a dl is Not a scene release.
a good nfo contains a lot more useful information which can later be verified
although often decorated it's not there for your entertainment

Always.

install instruction for games/apps and such are in the nfo's and therefore needed.
movies..well basically all the nfo you need/want to know.
The same goes for music.
The more info the better for the "end user".

It just becomes a bit of a pain having to create a NFO before uploading a file.

read above.

NFOs are an integral part of the scene. Without them you can't gauge the DVDR release you're about to leech, whether it's a newbie attempt (Shrink job, which usually includes an NFO that doesn't state anything about the encode, or a blatant lie) or a proper, scene-standard, 9-pass CCE job. This way you can compare releases, and decide for yourself which release (i.e. from which group) is the best for that particular movie/TV series/and so forth.

Also to read about what a 0day app does, or about a certain game.

I read the .nfos almost 100% of the time, unless it's a TV ep that I know I'm going to dl, regardless (and HDTV rips don't tend to have very informative .nfo's).

So yes, to avoid having to leech the .nfo just to read it, having the ability to read it on the site is an advantage.

I hardly ever read them (with the exception of game releases that is). But as for TV or movie torrents hardly ever.
