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.Originally Posted by PsYFuR

The only files I've downloaded with passwords were those that I knew the password for from the source itself. Just stick to legitimate nzb sites and it isn't a problem.

I hope you're not referring to FST's NZB index?
SoL is the one who usually posts the passworded nzb's but he supplies the password too

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....
s...l...o...w
The FCC has determined that 'high speed' internet means...
(hold on to your seat)
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.

An Excerpt from: A Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace
by John Perry Barlow
Read more hereGovernments of the Industrial World, you weary giants of flesh and steel, I come from Cyberspace, the new home of Mind. On behalf of the future, I ask you of the past to leave us alone. You are not welcome among us. You have no sovereignty where we gather [...] I declare the global social space we are building to be naturally independent of the tyrannies you seek to impose on us.
