Ignoring "sample" is too strict.

Post by Hurda »

Tried to fetch an archive with "sample" in its filename, and wondered for half an hour, why the client would report the NZB to be empty, until I remembered that switch to ignore sample-files.
Maybe this filter should only apply to video-file-extensions like .mkv, .avi, .mp4 etc.?

Such a filter can never be exactly right.
If this happens a lot, just don't use the option.
It's use is a bit dubious anyway, since we cannot recommend "do not download".
The "delete afterwards" can easily be replaced by your own (better) script.
