I'm probably one of the people causing this issue to others. I always uncheck info, text, subtitle and other minor files that are not needed for the video/game, and so while me and presumably others are seeding the game files, rarely anyone seeds the info files, which end up being that 0.01%

    Why do this? Somebody might need those files, and they only cost you a couple kb of space

    It's not about the size, but amount of files in downloads folder, which makes indexing slower.

    Personally I think that contributing to the swarm is worth the tiny impact to indexing. You never know who may need those files (especially subtitles, which I use all the time). But to each their own

    I use MPC-HC player. Once you press a D button, you can load any subtitle you want straight from subtitle databases. No need for seperate downloads.

    Are they retimed to match the video? A lot of times there can be different timings based on what branding the video has, like the short Netflix logo animation at the beginning of every Netflix video.

    The first result usually fits. It looks by keywords like blu-ray and release group

    I've had to manually retime subtitles often enough that I'm glad some torrents come with them. It's especially the case for modern shows where the video can get ripped from many different sources (netflix, hulu, etc), each with their own quirks and timings.
