this may be a dumb question but i was reading some articles and trying to understand seeding and peers; i generally pull up a torrent and grab the actual files but uncheck the random txt files like the ones that say where it was downloaded from (just for personal preference to keep my directories clean). does that cause any problems for others? should i not be excluding them from downloading? i generally keep torrents seeding when they’re done but if i don’t download those small files am i causing problems?

    ok, i’ll start grabbing the descriptive files too thanks!

    i think the torrents i’m seeding that have very few seeds besides me are just a couple of movies without extra files so it should be fine for now but i’ll take that into mind for the future.
