SABnzbd Forums

Hi. I've just started using sabnzbd after being a long time NewsLeecher user. One thing I am missing is the option to pause, and skip downloading if not needed, certain file types that get auto loaded into the queue via an imported nzb file. I had used the keyword filter option to skip "sample" files as well as .nfo, .nzb, .srt and several others. I found the "Ignore Samples" option in sabnzbd, but is it possible to exclude other file types/keyworks universally from the queue?

Thanks.

Currently not.
We do have an extension based filter which runs after post-processing.
The idea that most junk files come from unpacking the rar files.
Junk like nzb-files, nfo-files etc. is usually so small that it doesn't matter if they're
downloaded or not.
In Config->Options you can choose to ignore sample files.

Where is the extension filter? That might work as the biggest hassle is the post processing cleanup. I had already found the sample option-- those are the biggest byte hogs for junk files. Thanks.

Config->General.

That's great! Thanks.
