Make sense of names?

Postby mdelig00 » Fri Dec 28, 2012 3:52 pm

Is there a way to make sense of weird names now being upload to usenet? I know this is being done so the "authorities" do not know what the information is, but then again no one else does either. If there was some kind of cypher out there then everyone would know what everything is then it wouldn't matter. There must be a better way.

Maybe everyone is confused on the weird file names? All this "hiding" stuff so no one knows what anything is kinda defeats that whole plan if NO ONE knows what anything is.

Newsbin feature request, download one RAR file or extract the NFO if there is one and see what the file name is or what the content is, then report back to the user on what it is. Is a feature like that even possible?

You have to be in the club in order to get the mapping between the sets and what they actually represent. If not, the best you can do is sample the files.
