Placeholder files and ed2k link policy

Post by bdonlan »

I was browsing through anidb recently and found this entry:
http://anidb.ath.cx/perl-bin/animedb.pl ... 48&nonav=1

When I downloaded the ed2k link out of curiosity, I found the #nipponsei .nfo file for the R.O.D. TV OST. Would it be appropriate to file a db change request to remove the ed2k link and checksums? I can see why it was added, given there's a limit to the number of non-ed2k'd files one can add.

Shaaaadow files, oooh how I neeeed you! Er... this kinda thing will be cleared up with generic stuffs, as a hacky method, but less hacky than this.

it is indeed strange to have hashes added for a placeholder though.

Looks like a good opportunity to once more push Allow to ''merge file and change type'' ^^

(Of course, that ep would, first of all, need a generic file to merge the fillers with)
