blueroms.ws does include box art and screenshots of the games they distribute in their torrents, which I can appreciate for the effort. However, focusing on information that cannot be replaced such as the hash or serial number may be wise in the long term, since screenshots and videos of those games can be found in other websites, I think including them in a torrent is rather wasteful, specially for NES games smaller than a screenshot (unless you make it pixel perfect).

Besides, that is what the Retreye BitTorrent Index is designed to do, show the basic information, magnet link and images, while the torrent takes care of the technical bits engraved in the media device like a stone tablet!

    Adding some images, such as box art or screenshots of a game, can be beneficial. It's also a good idea to avoid relying on third-party image hosting sites for images in the description of a torrent file in the tracker.
