It would be nice to have a global filter of files I do not wish to download in a torrent. For example, when downloading a video or imageset I don't really want to waste any bandwidth downloading a *.exe because it mostly likely is someone trying to get a backdoor or virus onto my computer. I currently do this by having the dialog open prior to each download, but for low-seeded torrents it can take quite some time to get the list of files.
