View Full Version : turn off the download cache? (W2K)

I noticed that, when I download a file using IE, it will:

1) download to a temp directory
2) copy the downloaded file to the destination directory I have specified
3) delete the original file in the temp directory

It's not very convenient when I download a big file. Space wise, it required free space of at least double size of the file itself. Time-wise, copying a big file is not a good idea.

My question, is there anybody who can advise on:

1) can I change the action form copy to move in the 2nd step? --- OR ----
2) configure the system in such a way that the file will be downloaded directly to the destination directory without going to cache first?

Many thanks.

I highly doubt that is likely and would consider yourself lucky. Many times, the .zip and/or .exe files are NOT deleted from the Temporary Internet Files folder.
