Be sure to copy any passwords on the page.
Its a real bugger trying to find them later.

Good point -- and Jdownloader is your friend here too, as it maintains a list of passwords, and will automatically decrypt Rars trying all the passwords on the list. So if you see a page with a bunch of passwords, just copy them all and paste them into your password list.
Trick for finding a password to a Rar'd file that turns out to be encrypted: do a Google search on the filename & "pass" eg enter "LuciousBouncingBosoms.rar" pass ("pass" isn't usually necessary, but it can help). This will usually find you a source for the file (most sites are searchable by Google). Every so often, folks "code" their links, or embed them in those miserable encrypted download "containers" -- this method won't help with those, but they're pretty uncommon.
I'd be happy to share my un-rar password list, which has all the Un-rar passwords I've encountered on this site (and a few others). Doesn't seem like that would be a breach of anyone's confidence, but maybe a Mod could weigh in on whether or not that's OK.
