Title: Detect and stop downloading DMCA removed text files (Astraweb)
Post by: zer0gig on June 16, 2012, 04:35:09 pm: 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.

Post by: Rdl on June 18, 2012, 03:20:11 pm: 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.
