Thread: Passwords on WinRaR files

  1. #1

    Angry

    I hate people who put passwords on files then dont tell you how or where to get password to open it. What a waste of time downloading file for nothing.

    If you get such a file delete it..often that's done to get you to visit their websites... for the password.. ..shame about the wasted bandwidth...

    That no more is a bit over the top..not all ( hardly any) are actually password protected..and for many torrent sites, password protection is often forbidden. It's just very frustrating if you find out only after downloading larger files and it's a waste of course.
