Of course, most archiving tools such as 7-Zip or WinRAR etc can handle this task, but if you have several files to unpack and some don’t have passwords, some have one password and others have different passwords it can become quite tedious. Or it can be an identifier to the source when another site leeches the download link. Also a lot of websites will encrypt the archive with a password so that people would know where the uploaded files came from. It’s sometimes the case that uploaders often take the original archive files and compress them again perhaps into larger chunks. One of the many “scene” rules in the world of online file sharing is that files must be archived in a certain way and each file should be a certain size, such as a 4GB movie coming in loads of different files because that’s how they were originally compressed by the creator.
