OK I have a bunch of movies downloaded from suprenova they are all .rar files. Whenever I try to play them and watch them it takes me to WinRAR to play them and it says i need a password to play them and also none of my players (Windows/Real/or DivX) are capable of playing theses type of files. Any Suggestions?????

Password protection on rar files is one of the dumbest ideas ever. Go here and ask in After-Download Support:http://www.lickmytaint.com/forum/default.asp They also have various lists of passwords in their Sticky's. I think you have to register first but I have never seen them to fail at finding a password. You can also do a web search, I have found passwords that way. P.S. Just a friendly warning. Don't mention downloading copyrighted material. That is piracy and not condoned at AD.

Passworded RAR files?
If they are passworded and they don't give it to you whats the point of letting people download it?

And maybe a thread title with some meaning works better when you want to draw people in having a title with "QUESTION" is pretty.... you know what I mean don't you?

Supposedly, it's a security feature against groups like the MPAA and RIAA but I'm sure they have no problem accessing the file. The only people they keep out are ordinary folks. Luckily, out of a couple of hundred files a year, I only see 3 - 4 that are password protected.
