Kabootar Posted January 28, 2006 CID Share Posted January 28, 2006 heya guys, i have noticed that during torrent downloads, there is also a small .nfo file bearing the torrent name among the files that have been downloaded. opening the file opens a hardware interface sort of program. are these files safe? or should i delete them from among the directories? i hope i have been clear enough....

Swimmer Posted January 28, 2006 CID Share Posted January 28, 2006 All they do is contain information about the download itself.. Most of the time it is just a tag/plug from the place that you got it from.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcin541 Posted January 29, 2006 CID Share Posted January 29, 2006 Click open with and select notepad. It should come out nice and clear, if it doesnt, choose wordpad. Im guessing the torrent sites use this as some sort of protection against something, I dunno what though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
