Detect and stop downloading DMCA removed text files (Astraweb)

[zer0gig]

Lately on Astraweb, content that has been removed due to DMCA isn't deleted from the server but rather replaced with txt files containing a message saying removed due to DMCA, they aren't just small text files either, they are the exact size of the original file. If you are supposed to be downloading a .rar or .r01 etc, it would be helpful if Alt.Binz detected that it was getting txt files rather than rar files and stopped the download.

I can provide a DMCA'd nzb file if you need a sample.

I was under the immpression it's 30bytes file per article, so I would like NZB where it's exact size as original (->pm)

Headers are always the same for these files apart from msg ID, so easy to check before any download:

The date is ... interesting.

But in this case not all articles were removed.

This has been implemented now.

Setup->Misc #3->Pause collection when articles were removed by usenet provider
Default:false

Once this is checked, when altbinz detects DMCAed articles it will pause collection and inform the user via log and popup message.
