The main reason for this is that it avoids adding of double db entries. AniDB will not allow you to add a file with the same ed2k-hash as an existing one.<br>

You are allowed to add files without ed2k-hashs to AniDB, however you should edit those files later and add the missing ed2k-hashs. Once you added a certain number of files without ed2k-hashs you may no longer add new files without ed2k-hashs until you edit your old files first.
