      Is there a way to block most types of downloads on a network segment?

        I think the first place to start is with squid proxy and blocking certain mime types.
        I managed it years ago with a different firewall distribution and a much older version of squid.
        I think you might also need squidgard.

        If I fix one more thing than I break in a day, it's a good day!
