Comments

Using this version (with the standard inetc package) local caching of downloads is enabled by default, and disableable via inetc's new /NOCOOKIES option, so be sure to update your .nsi scripts or you'll find your projects leaving a cache of downloaded files on each host PC they're run on. Wink
