Ignore images and other media from downloading

[KL13NT]

Hi!

I have a music bot that plays internet sources. The bot seems to 'hang' whenever someone sends an image, seemingly downloading the Message object for the message listener to process. Is there any way to opt out of this? Can I tell the library to ignore media or specific file types in general before they're downloaded?

discord.js doesn't automatically download anything (including attached files).

MessageAttachment only holds metadata that Discord sends along the payload through the gateway.

Oh, that complicates things. What could possibly be causing the hangup though? I'm trying to trace it but failing drastically.

Could it be a network slowness issue?
