Wow really need this!

Have joined rapid gator to download the premium links, the password you give of {{{Blocked by Omni Potens, reason: reports from LEGIT GB STARTER}}} doesn't work, 7zip partially opens the file and says wrong password. So I downloaded winRAR and get the same problem

Also files 1 + 3 wont open as archive? Maybe I'm doing something wrong?

Thanks a bunch for the copy.com link. Great share but premium links are really not the way for blackhatters. It's just using BBHF as an affiliate site
