It generally means that the ROM is compressed, so your compression client (Winzip, Winrar) should ask for the password when attempting to extract/run it.

[/quote] This site (forum) does not host files.

Files are uploaded to hosting sites such as filefront.com,
then people share their links with other folks such as yourself so you can get the file too.
Files are compressed with programs like winrar so they become smaller and quicker to tranfer,
sometimes people will password protect there files, this is done thru winrar etc,
once you download said file you will have to unzipp (uncompress it) in order to use most files. When you try to uncompress a file that is passwored this is when it will ask for the required password....

Now on another note:
Some hosting sites will require you to put in a security code before you can download a file hosted with them, This code will be generated on the Download page, and is totally different than a password protected zip file, as I spoke of earlier

[/quote] Files are only hosted for a certain period of time, If there is no downloads within that time then the hosting site will delete the file, Hence the link is now DEAD! You'll need to get another like from someone else or get someone who has the file to upload the file again.

no idea what you mean by Kam's downloads
