Php can automate that. Some download sites do this.
This way if someone steals files from here, they'd have to repack them first to remove the links.

This might cause issues if it's in the add-on folder... I had a changelog.txt in my add-on folder at one point but it was being picked up as a separate add-on by the ESO client. Was kinda strange.

Seems like they are just making the addons more popular.

Yet this is still harmful to the add-on developers. We don't upload to that site, which means that any add-on that is downloaded from that site might be an old, unsupported or broken (somehow) version of the add-on. Innocent users of that site may not know that their issue has been fixed weeks ago.
