I suggest you ...

Add an option to flag archives that are password protected.

If the archive contained in the post is password protected, it's status should be shown to the user before downloading the NZB.

        Shame this has been declined, but I can see why given the recent ruling with newzBin in the UK.

        Hi Claire88, I feel your pain, it's really frustrating when downloads are bad. At least Bintube say they are working on it. I really wouldn't recommend returning to torrents, just remember how slow and unsecure they are. Also, 'bad' torrents are appearing more and more too.
        Although this doesn't solve the problem I'd suggest moving to a provider that offers uncapped bandwidth, be that for your ISP or Usenet.

        Please make this a priority. I've been using usenet for years and have only recently started to notice this annoying trend. Wasted 16gig's of bandwidth recently, OK, its partially my fault for not being smart enough to download the right release but the fakes are getting harder to spot. How is it that when I start downloading and check the folder, there is no "Click here for Password" link BUT it manages to appear upon completion!? It links to some binvid site demanding you fill in a survey... no thanks. Can I get my bandwidth back? No? Grunt... I feel like going back to torrents :(

        This needs to be done. Almost every download anymore has a survey for password.

        Put a lock icon next to the search result just like the heart. Allow people to provide the password too.

        This would definitely switch me from newzleech :)
