Or we can add
application/x-msdos-program EXE
to mime.cfg

Nope. I've been using my "pre-alpha" version where cache is
c:\arachne\cache and download is e:\download without any problems. It
doesn't actually move yet, it just copies and deletes and that's good
enough for me. Use acopy and a simple BATch file and you can do it yourself.

Yes - amove.bat currently.

IMHO you should check that the file was succesfully saved before removing
it from cache (unless you know you have enough room available).
When amove is finished you could be able to just press "q" on that page and
go do something else while the computer downloads (you might need to change
the temporary .asf file yourself first).
