Need to Block Telegram - heavy movie downloading

[tejas]

Is there any way to block the Telegram Movies downloading, without blocking telegram messaging feature. I am using Suricata instead of Snort.

Probably not. Openappid in Snort is probably your best bet there unless you can make a custom signature for Suricata.

You could implement a UTM like Untangle in bridge mode and leverage the Bandwidth control app to severely limit the bandwidth available to the application. This would effectively stop the downloading.
