you try try
https://rclone.org/filtering/#include-from-read-include-patterns-from-file

create a text file, let's call it filter.txt

file1
file2

and test the filter with
rclone ls remote: --include-from=filter.txt

try
rclone copy "remote:" --include-from=filter.txt "C:\download" -v --dry-run
and read the output.
if it looks good, then remove --dry-run and run again

with or without dry run, it's stuck. not showing anything after this. may be reading full folder or something. i tried "remote:Test" --include-from=filter.txt "D:\Main\test\" -v -- dry-run only gave error "Replacing invalid characters
in..." and end the task without downloading the file.

rclone copy "remote:" --include-from=filter.txt "D:\Main\test\" -v --
dry-run

the \" at the end of the path can be a problem on windows.

you can use
"D:\Main\test"
"D:\Main\test\\"
D:\Main\test\
D:\Main\test
