Filtering out which files to download and which files to not download is done on the client side.
You might be able to trick the client into downloading them by telling him that they aren't textures, but there is no way for the server to see whether you got them or not.

it isn't an argument when joining the server?
can't test this because the server is deciding not to work
but pretty sure it's in this mess that RTB packages
function GameConnection::onConnectRequest(%this,%a,%b,%c,%d,%e,%f,%g,%h,%i,%j,%k,%l,%m,%n,%o,%p)
also, if turning off downloading for specific things doesn't stop the server from sending the data
why would people still be suggesting to turn off the options to speed it up if it doesn't speed it up?

The server sends you a file manifest, the client parses it and requests files it doesn't have from cloud.blockland.us
