How to not download large files with RSS

Post by CriminalMind »

Hi.

I have my RSS feed running on NZBs.org, and it's working great. But today I found a really bad problem, it downloads 20GB season packs as well.
Are there any options I edit to keep the filter from picking up files that are greater than 2GB in size? Or any other solution?


Thanks!

I am not a NZBs.org member, but:
nzbmatrix allows you to build a custom RSS feed.
The customization includes minimum and maximum download side.

It does, however, require a single payment for lifetime services.

You need the "size_limit" special.

I also added 2 reject flags for "bluray" and "DVD" for my tvshow feed...so far I haven't seen any seasons sneaking their way in and cluttering my queue.

shypike, any way to change the default priority of the large files to normal instead of low?

You can filter the NZBMatrix feed through Yahoo pipes.  It can directly filter based on the size attribute that NZBM includes in the feed.  That's what I'm doing, and it's more reliable than trying to filter out "season" or something similar.
