how to get pass passworded .RAR files?

[Casey]

Anyone know? Im currently searching the internet on how to do it. :)

edit:dang ther are programs but they cost money :eep:

[Citizen Bleys]

The best way is not trying to get into files other people have protected with passwords ^.^

[Casey]

But its my file I passworded along time ago. :cry:

[Citizen Bleys]

Of course it is

[Casey]

hah.Ive found the password! It was in the file's name. Im stupid. :p

ya'll can disregard this.

[Peegee]

some lame ass brute force programs can do it. I suggest for your own sake that you use your email password or something dumb for your rar passwords. :D

Anyone else pissed that bittorrent files are starting to do this?

[crono_logical]

Not really, torrent files usually use the website URL the torrent originally came from as the password, to try to prevent/discourage direct remote linking. Although I've only ever come across one such torrent before and I download a few dozen torrents a week :p

[Peegee]

ooc: what's your ISP and how do you get away with downloading so much?

It's RR isn't it? :aimmad:

[crono_logical]

No, demon for me :p More expensive than the average UK ADSL company, but for the unrestricted usage and doing virtually what you like (running servers etc.), it's worth it :p

I'd estimate 80-100 GB down and 40-50 GB uploaded per month on this connection :p

If I ever get a consistent job I'm so getting one of those...UK demons.

Actually I wonder if Canada has anything like that for less than 50$ a month *shrug*

One of my roomates does as much as 9 simultaneous torrents a night...it absolutely kills upstream bandwidth. :rolleyes2

Our ISP has yet to complain.

...

How the heck did this topic get hijacked from passworded RARs to bittorrent?

[crono_logical]

Because BT is a likely source of passworded rar files :p

Tell your roommate to use a decent BT client that can handle multiple torrents simultaneously, like Azureus (http://azureus.sf.net/) (my favourite - needs Java 5 or later installed to run correctly) or ABC, so he can throttle the up/down speeds to a reasonable rate (upload not higher than 80% of your max upload) so the rest of you guys can still use the internet comfortably :p

[Samuraid]

Thanks for the good advice. :) I'll pass it along to him.

Yeah, one of my other friends recommended the same thing (specifically bitcomet) and throttling the upstream speeds of torrents.
