hi

I know I am not a member of the web team....but IMHO it is because your web browser knows how to open something called x.txt but does not know how to open extension x.md5 as per example

I would not open an md5-file in my browser. I do sometimes look at the .info, but I gain nothing at looking at the .md5.txt

When downloading a tcz from a browser, you can then open the md5.txt and save it.
