Suggestion

On v4.5 has added a feature on torrent added but which is only useful for .torrent files. For magnet links, before METADATA received we have not enough info to make decisions.

Use case

set Torrent Stop Condition to "Metadata received".
when "Metadata received" is true, run an external program to unselect useless files and then start the downloads.

Ahh Cool. Thanks for the reminder.

I have an external script to filter the files now. Based on my experience, a simple filename filter does not enough.

e.g. my script has a rule to make decisions based on file sizes
