Question for those with Usenet know how. When downloading raw headers, I have observed a convention where the title is a random string of letters and numbers, and within the post are for example 50 rars and 10 pars. How are consumers 'decoding' the title so they know what they are getting? Does the uploader provide a translation? Or can the 'real title' be recovered programmatically? Many thanks.
- voltagex_ 14y agoCan you give an example?
- nicksterling 14y agoHere's one from a.b.boneless... "2TU4K75C6Z" (45 rars, 9 pars) And here's one from a.b.multimedia... "DTTBiAp23.101.by.NYCrules" (14 rars, 11 pars) no .nfo included and no way to know what's inside. Does anybody know how people are decoding these titles into meaningful information?
- nicksterling 14y agoHere's one from a.b.cheerleaders... "291112_08_29" (60 rars) There are lots of these and they are interesting because the first part suggests a date, 29/11/12, and the second part suggests a sequential number. The size is almost 6 gig.
- voltagex_ 14y agoAaaaand I'm glad I didn't look that one up on the work PC. I'm assuming you can get the filename info by looking at either the RAR headers or the first archive.
- voltagex_ 14y agoSorry it took me a while to get back to you. The first one is passworded, presumably detected by looking at the RAR header. I can't find the second.
