Why do mininova torrents link to the description page?

To preserve their ad revenue, mininova rewrites links to torrent files to their description page if your referrer is not blank. If I copy a link and paste it into another browser window or download manager it doesn’t show up in my Download History! Download History is updated by an OnClick javascript event on each link to the torrent. If you don’t actually click the link and copy it instead we cannot track which files you have downloaded.
