Block the sample subfolder commonly found in scene releases.
qBittorrent's filename filter applies to subfolder names (since
PR #20902) and matching is case insensitive, so a single literal
entry covers sample, Sample, SAMPLE, etc.
*.r?? *.s?? *.z?? match any 3-character extension starting with that
letter, which blocks legitimate files like .srt .ssa .sub that are
in the whitelist. The whitelist subtraction cannot prevent this
because it operates on exact strings in the blacklist file, not on
qBittorrent's glob expansion.
Replace with digit-only character classes:
*.r[0-9][0-9] - .r00-.r99 only
*.s[0-9][0-9] - .s00-.s99 only
*.z[0-9][0-9] - .z00-.z99 only
qBittorrent's excluded file names field uses simple wildcards, not
regex. The regex: prefix is not supported and was silently ignored.
Replace the two non-functional regex lines with four wildcard patterns:
*.7z.* - 7z multi-volume (.7z.001, .7z.002, ...)
*.r?? - rar volumes (.r00-.r99)
*.s?? - rar overflow (.s00-.s99)
*.z?? - zip splits (.z00-.z99)
These overlap harmlessly with upstream's existing literal entries
(*.r00-*.r04 etc.) and will be preserved as custom additions by the
three-way merge.
Replace the 5 separate regex patterns with a tighter 2-pattern version
that covers the same rar/zip gaps plus overflow letters (t, u, v, w,
x, y) not caught by the 5-pattern version, and adds 7z multi-volume
coverage. Both patterns are case-insensitive.
regex:(?i)^.*\.7z\.\d+$ - 7z multi-volume (.7z.001+)
regex:(?i)^.*\.[r-z]\d+$ - rar volumes, overflow, zip splits
The .partNN.rar pattern is removed because the existing *.rar literal
entry already covers it (ends-with match). The bare .NNN numeric split
pattern is removed because it was outside the stated scope of blocking
rar, zip, and 7z archives.
Upstream blacklist enumerates rar volume extensions only up to .r04,
.s09, .z04, with the .003 split missing entirely and no coverage for
the .partNN.rar multi-part naming convention. Releases with files like
.r05 and beyond slip through the file-level filter, and Malware
Blocker's queue-level cleanup is too slow to prevent qBittorrent from
downloading enough data to incur HnR penalties.
Add five regex patterns to the blacklist as manual local additions
preserved by the three-way merge:
regex:^.*\.\d{3}$ - all 3-digit numeric splits (.000-.999)
regex:^.*\.part\d+\.rar$ - multi-part rar new style
regex:^.*\.r\d+$ - all rar volume numbers (old style)
regex:^.*\.s\d+$ - rar volumes after r99
regex:^.*\.z\d+$ - zip splits
These patterns are added directly to blacklist via the manual addition
escape hatch documented in README and Lists.md. The Whitelist stripped
log line will continue to function normally; new lines appear under
Custom preserved.
