Downloads caching, is there a way to stop it?

I'm using this function in my installer to get some very important file for my installer: "NSISdl::download"

The only problem is that it seems to cache the file downloaded, so if I go to download it again, it will just grab the cache, causing errors in the installer.

Is there any way I can force it to override the cache and download the file?

NSISdl doesn't cache anything. If something is cache, it might be because of a proxy along the way to the server.

Well... not everyone has this caching problem, only about 20% the users I'd say. It is quite annoying though... do you have any suggestions on how I'd fix it?

InetLoad plug-in uses flag INTERNET_FLAG_RELOAD
(Forces a download of the requested file, object, or directory listing from the origin server, not from the cache) for http requests. http://forums.winamp.com/showthread....0&pagenumber=3
