NZB & Password Protected Rar's driving me nuts

Stay away from password protected files on Torrents or Usenet.

I was thinking the same thing and this week the series has also now been passworded. they have a writeup on the site but cant recall exactly why they did it. so now there is no way to avoid it.

Because it helped me even if it didn't help you. There have been a lot of password protected archives recently and 9/10 times the password was the same. The method I had been using was laborious and this simplifies things greatly.

The post he referenced is helpful, his comment was designed to be a smart alec reply (as is the norm on a lot of threads in this forum).
If he really wanted to be helpful he would have just linked the original post....

Stop using a **** indexer? Kiss enough?

Hi All,

Using CP + SAB.
Often enough to annoy me, getting rar downloads which are password protected - of course there is a readme.txt included which points to a website which you have to go to and sign up for mobile content services in order to get the rar password.
Has anyone had any luck with:

Brute force-ing the rar password? (seems like a waste of time to me)
Some method of getting the password and not having to sign up for the mobile content services? (I've heard of using a VPN service to get a US IP and you get a survey instead??)

incredibly frustrating and there doesnt seem to be a way to determine if the rar will have a password before you download it!!

thanks

it was far from a smart alec reply. your issue is related to that. lots of multiple threads just clutter up the place. your issue is not unique. get over yourself. not everybody is out to get you.
