I agree that'd be a nice thing to be able to do.  I'm not 
sure the current structure of HTTrack would make it easy 
to add filters during a crawl (your request is basically 
to add a new filter).  (Xaviar, how practical is this 
during a crawl?  I think the new filter could be applied 
to any URLs that are queued for scanning or queued for 
download.  Already downloaded links could be left alone, 
at risk of making the copy a little bit inconsistent with 
the filters until the next project update.)

Right now when I see HTTrack going too far, I cancel the 
crawl, add the filter and then select "Continue 
Interrupted Download".  This is best method I know of for 
the moment.
