Hi,

         Can anyone suggest me a way in which i can stop http downloads 
but not http traffic.
        Say iam browsing and downloading a file from internet...my

        as a admin stop the download only but not the other http 
traffic.Any suggestions?

Your request is ambiguous: how do you distinguish
between
(what you defined) file traffic and other http
traffic?
A way to do that is checking download file name, but
it's hard to entrust on it.
Anyway if you want something like this, i think
there's nothing ready out of the box but you've to
implement it, for example on top on libnfnetlink.

Good luck, 

Valerio

You can use L7 filtering to filter by file types
(http://l7-filter.sourceforge.net/protocols) or limit the size of the
download (using something like
http://www.lowth.com/rope/HttpContentLength) to allow the normal html
files, graphics etc.
