Where do you enter passwords?

[tsafa1]

using azzureus. Where do you enter a password for the torrents that require one? thanks

[shawners]

lol.. torrents dont need passwords unless your downloading a winrar file that has a password protection on it.. Or that some sites are private and use private trackers which you have to be a member to log into.

on torrent spy , for example, I sometimes see a little lock next to a file. I am able to download the torrent but it does not seem to start. I think in one instance i actuly saw requires pass word in the status collum

[shawners]

Those locks mean that the torrent has a password in winrar.. and sometimes people post the password on the comment colum of it.. or the password is on a website and gives you a link to it. Download winrar GOLD PLUS. Here is a NFO file on what it does.

The only problem with bruteforce is that when a password is a site name (www.blablabla.com) there is so many different possibilites, it just takes forever.

WinRAR uses AES. Probably salt too, so it could possibly take... decades... centuries...or even longer to crack a password.
