to rssdler

I've got rssdler downloading torrents just fine, but recently I'm
grabbing lots of "fake" torrents masquerading as a trusted uploader.
The "fake" torrents contain RAR files rather than AVIs (and then try
to get you to buy a password to decrypt the rar file).

Is there any way to match against the files contained in the torrent
so that I could ignore any torrents containing RAR files? It seems to
me I should be able to use postDownloadFunction or similar but I can't
work out how?

Many thanks,

Justin

this would be possible with a postDownloadFunction. You would use rssdler's
bdecode function to read the torrent, and the iterate through the info
dictionary to find files ending with .rar and similar rar extensions. I am
trying to find the time to refactor rssdler to be more amenable to changes
like these. But right now, it is not easy to do within the current code base,
and I don't have the time.
