When I download a file from 1fichier, I generally begin the download using Firefox while logged in at 1fichier, but I right-click on the download box, choose 'Copy download link', and splice that into an automatic downloading program. 1fichier almost always bombs out my first attempt to download a file from it. Then I face the mandatory waiting period to try again.
The automatic downloading program is typically much more successful.
But this is where I need advice.
Some uploaders here at V-E-F {including j4zz and 'henry miller'} specify a download password before giving the URL to the uploaded file. Password-protecting an uploaded file is a solid security move. But password-protecting the entry to the file cripples most attempts to give the file URL to the automatic downloading program. 
Is there a bypass that I miss in order to provide the download password to the automatic downloading program?
If there is not, than can V-E-F kindly request to its uploaders to not password-protect the entry to the file?
Thank you.

If you use jdownloader2 you can load all of the passwords into an extraction list.
It will remember those passwords and automatically extract the file for you.
We use passwords for a variety of reasons. It helps disguise files uploaded to an account. It also prevents link stealing sometimes because they usually forget to add the password with the link when they steal it. It helps identify link stealers at other forums if we see a link posted with our passwords. For these reasons, we would rather not ask everyone to stop using passes for archives.
