Password protected archive detection

Post by bluesk1d »

Any ideas how to turn off password protected archive detection? The feature is described here but doesn't mention how you flag a download as an exception. I have a download of a password protected archive that keeps getting detected and paused and flagged as [Encrypted]. If I have to keep unpausing it, it will take days to complete.

Thanks!

The idea is that it pauses once and then you decide whether to continue or not.
From what you describe it looks like it pauses after each following RAR part.
I'll check that.
A simple work-around is to set the password (the real one or a fake) in the title of the job.
Click on the job title and in the next screen rename the job to "name/password".
This should make it continue downloading.
