how to avoid fake downloads with .exe ?

Post by Andkj »

Lately, I got a lot of garbage, 130kB virus/trojans for windows.
Using Linux, I have no problem with them - other than they are polluting my incoming folder.

I wish it was possible to somehow decide that a download from certain RSS groups should be skipped if .exe , or paused /ignored if less than a specific size.

Thank you

It is possible:

Good. Can you post the code, so that others can benefit?

If you want to delete files after downloading based on their extension, fill out Config -> Switches -> Cleanup List: "List of file extensions that should be deleted after download. For example: nfo or nfo, sfv"
