there are podcast rss feeds out there which are not well managed and so they often contain varying content that can surprise you on auto-download. One such podcast I subscribe posts a daily 10-20m audio file, but on some rare occasions they will throw in video. One morning I woke up to find a 1gig video file in the feed had been downloaded for me. It would be nice to at least be able to defeat auto-downloading based on a max byte size of the enclosure. It would be even better to have a more general mechanism for filtering the download/do-not-download decision, such as audio versus video, or some other feed item attributes like title or description fields with substring matching.
