RARBG now includes and exe file called "RARBG_DO_NOT_MIRROR.exe", which should deter mirroring, because automated crawlers will filter the releases out because it could be a virus.
FakeDetector "correctly" marks downloads containting "RARBG_DO_NOT_MIRROR.exe" as bad. But as the article states, it's just a text file to dupe crawlers, etc.
Please add an option to expressedly allow specific file names, so that downloads won't get thrown out just because someone like RARBG is trolling us.

A quick fix is to change line 116 to add the file name to the allowed list: allowNames = [ 'RARBG_DO_NOT_MIRROR', 'rename', 'Rename' ]
And change line line 121 to not immediately exclude '.exe': if ext in exExtensions and not name in allowNames:
I'm not sure why '.exe' is checked independently on 121 as the extension is already in the exExtensions list. Are there cases where 'rename.exe' is a bad file that needs to be excluded?
