Can nothing really be done about passworded rar files?

I'm talking about passworded rar files inside a normal rar file, SAB only seems to check the initial rar file and no any rars inside, and now the most common password method on new releases is definitely the rar inside rar method. E.g. It's taken me 7 tries to get a working show that came out today

No, nothing can be done about passworded rar files.
Except that detection might be tweaked a bit (which will be in 0.8.0).
Probably it won't take long before the passwording bastards to find a better method.

Detection is what I'm looking for really, downloading the first rar file and checking if there's a .rar file type inside

SABnzbd already does that, but it's not enough for some posts.
We're looking at improving this in 0.8.0
