How to get the NZBs?

I'm using newsbin search. The newer files have the password in the NZBs. But when I download, I don't see the NZB file anywhere. How do I get it?

Give me some examples. I've not seen NZB's in the groups themselves. You can PM me the group name if you want me to check it out.

Typically NZB's are downloaded from web sites then fed into Newsbin.

What version are you using? 6.91 handles embedded passwords in NZB's with no issue.

So I tried again and it downloaded all the files. But since it's passworded I get the following error:
[07/08 22:56:23] ERROR DecodeException: - Decode Failed - Download all PARS:
[07/08 22:56:23] ERROR DecodeException: Decode Failed - No more or no PARS at all:

So why is it failing to get the password if it's automatic?

Walk me through how you're finding an NZB for this file.

I found the set of files on the search engine but I didn't see an NZB. I didn't see a way to get a password for these files.

I downloaded the files from search but I don't have a password to decode them.

I was told that there should be an NZB file with the password. Not for that particular file, but in general. That's all I know

Link to the reddit with some info

NZB's typically come from 3rd party websites.

Well it was a concern cause nearly every file is password protected, was getting frustrating. And people telling me there's ways to get the password. Just the way things have changed

It seems at best you can set newsbinpro to fail on password protected files.
So yeah get an indexer or 2, there are links on reddit for those. They should then include passwords in nzb's.
