Image link not allowed for unregistered users How can I set up a filter to cut out avi's with 001 or po1 or any number after the .avi, but be able to download the normal .avi files?

Put an accept filename filter of \.avi$ The "$" ties it to the end of the string. Give me a couple of examples and maybe I can come up with something better that would work in the subject filter instead of the filename filter. Subject filters are much more efficient because NewsBin doesn't have to start downloading the article to apply the filter.

Well, if I take you literally, you could add this to the file reject filter:
\.avi.*[0-9]
but that will only take effect when it actually goes to download the file, and as such is slower. A subject reject filter would be a better idea, so try:
\.avi\.[pr0-9][0-9][0-9]
That should match any PAR/MasterSplitter/RAR compressed files that would otherwise be confused with real .avi files.
