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!

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.

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
