What is with the proliferation of password maligned binaries? This is driving me crazy and I want to severely hurt the people who post this crap!
it's either the Dutch;
or companies like MediaSentry, MediaDefender
i assume its the ladder.
they have you open a URL; now they have your IP; IP's can be traced to providers; after a while time they have a nice little database of providers whom will at some time in the future will be further pressured to enforce stricter data caps, throttling, and will be further ammo is their (US Gov, ACTA, MPAA, RIAA etc..) stocks to legitimize 3-Strikes laws.
BIG BROTHER *IS* WATCHING. :ermm:
:blink: well guess that answered the question!
:D
It's true. More often than not it happens to me when I grab stuff I searched from auto indexers, or using newsleech's supersearch.
Just download the nzb's from trusted sites, and if you happen to download a passworded one, don't click the URL that shows up there.
That's how I do.
These are by far mostly trying to 'drive' people to some web site or some such. It's gotten so bad that there are sites 'dedicated' to spreading the passwords around, once someone has grabbed them.
Newzbin has been pretty good as well spreading them.
But there are lots of folks out there that use passwords for other reasons, usually due to very slow upload speeds and trying to keep folks from screaming 'where is this???' all the time, and list it at the end of the posting.

Passworded files are for unscrubpulious people trying to make money off surveys.
Here's a thread with some links that "index" passwords for ya and a few tips on how to avoid these in the thread as well.

90% of the tv shows I downloaded last week were passworded, so I feel your pain. So my brother in law suggested I use this site over nzb search engines
merlins portal is also a decent choice because they refuse to list any nzb's that are password protected.
Today, 2 out of 4 tv shows I always watch were passworded. Had to download them again. So irritating.Quote:

I hope you're not referring to FST's NZB index?Quote:

Although it seems the bulk of folks on this board are euros, the fact of life in the U.S. is that internet speeds are....Quote:

200Kb/s download, with <50kb/s upload.
That covers about 95+% of the U.S. consumers. Only a thin 'edge of the wedge' has higher speeds available to them at ANY cost.
In my particular area, there does exist FIOS (at speeds up to 50Mb/20Mb at $120+/month) but only to some 15,000 households in an area of over 250,000+ households, over about 2000sq. miles. And, this is the only FIOS within some 250+ miles in any direction.
So, the biggest reason I see is extremely slow upload speeds. Now I'm sure, that lots of euro folks with obscene speeds use passwords, for all the reasons that have been stated.
But if I had a buck for every screaming leecher that complains that the posting isn't going 'fast' enough for them, I could retire to my McMansion a long time ago.
dear god; 'a.b.teevee@efnet'. how difficult is it?Quote:

It was with some beef with some user, and another and 'caused a ripple effect through all of the channels.
Whoever was talking about "passworded" TV posts, it's not here, not one single one....as with movies "yes" but we supply pass/and/or upload the "next one"....

^^^I've found that the lamer would usually use the default alias the posting client provides eg JBinup .... for JBinUp, or [email protected] for PP.
Kinda sad because now we all have to be suspicious before we leech.
Look for these warning posts:Quote:

You can search these posts if you want, just remove the quotation marks from the filename (...[0/1] - "vox-avatar.src.nfo" yEnc...)
Also not all fakes have warning posts about them, some are blatantly obvious that they're fake eg. Them 3kb RAR's when the release should clearly be larger. As SOL has said, there are no passworded nzbs on FST, if there are they're supplied in the thread.
Obviously fake. teevee don't post movies and alt-bin posts movies to a.b.movies.divx not a.b.m.Quote:

fwiw, newzbin has a password tagging system now. They can excluded from results.
Also, it's not altbin anymore for movies anyway.Quote:

as with the kere.ws posts it's about the "poster" they don't do the same, binaries4ever has changed there headers as well, becasue it's being done to them as well.
usenet4all has been posting a shit ton of stuff as well and I mean a shit ton, really trying to get people to there site.
Hadn't noticed that tbh, they still appear to be posting to a.b.m.divx though. I expect that'll change soon.Quote:

Yeah, I think the main guys revolted or some shit, and started a.b.moovee, just like they did with a.b.teevee (used to be a.b.mm) and there pretty quick, just search #a.b.moovee.

Its nice to be warned about passwords, but some search sites don't mention it. I remember awhile ago I would search the web, holding onto hope the file was real and the password available somewhere online.
