Avoiding malicious torrents #510

Closed Erionn closed 6 years ago

Erionn commented 6 years ago

Every so often someone will upload malware disguised as currently airing anime so that it's picked up by your filter, like this. Is there any way for stricter filters to avoid this, like discarding extremely small file size torrents?

For nyaa.si, using the "Trusted only" filter (by changing the f=0 in the feed URL to f=2) could help, but it may discard some valid torrents too.

Tokyo Toshokan allows setting a minimum size (e.g. minMB=10) in its RSS Options page.

I can probably add a "File size" element to Taiga's filters, so that you can create a filter condition such as File size (MB) | is less than | 10 to discard matching torrents.
