hi guys

1st i gotta say it´s an awesome tool you got there, props for making it even better

i ´d like to request a feature that really goes on my nerves with my current version (0.3.4), maybe it´s already implemented and i just didn´t realise it? if so please give me a pointer in the right direction, thx

so what´s going on my nerves:
when i fill my DL qeue i sometimes (without knowing it) download a password protected release and my standard option is D+S (repair+unrar+delete+script)  unfortunately the pw is unknown to sab and instead of skipping this release/moving it repaired but not unrared to the finished folder it just tries to unrar it (without success of course)
that wouldn´t be a biggy since i can search for the pw and unrar manually later but every other DL that was downloaded after that pw protected DL waits in line and doesn´t finish, i have to kill the sab unrar process manually and then sab processes the rest of the qeue
it would be a huge help for me (and i guess i´m not the only one?) if some workaround could be implemented
a pw check and skip or if the rar process didn´t go on in x time then move on to the next DL...something like that

anyway thx for reading and thx in advance for the fix...or the pointer in the right direction if it´s already implemented

Depending on whether unrar gives any useful feedback about a password-protected file, we may be able to do something.
I'll check what's possible.
Cannot say I ever encountered a password protected download.
You must have a different taste 

Its common in HD files you know those movies with 1080P or 720P. I see it a lot there.

wouldn't it be possible to add a remark when adding the NZB?
if(passwordProtectSelected){
skip}
else{
unrar(..);
}

There's a -p- option in unrar that prevents unrar asking for a password.
I'll add that and try to handle the output:
"Encrypted file:  CRC failed in file.rar (password incorrect ?)"

Something for RC1.

you are my hero

thx for taking the time to even consider it

Turns out most of the password error handling was already in, only applied inconsistently.
Fixed for the next release.
I.e.: the History will tell you that the RAR's are encrypted, you will have to do unpacking yourself.

Turns out I got a password protected file last night too off the TVNzb RSS Feeds, seemed it was a rogue file. (Tv show: One Tree Hill)

But there wasn't really a way of knowing this was password protected before with the aim to aid spam

thx alot 
will check it out asap

the "skip passworded files" function works with the newest release RC 2
made it so much easier for me (and i hope for others too)

thx again
