Here is the scenario,

Using Windows98 OS, with a 2 Gig HD and Netscape v4.7

Only have 500 meg left on the drive, and I am attempting to download
a 300 meg file. No problem except that NS keeps making two copies
of what ever I download. The initial file that I want, and a cached copy
that disappears after the initial file is downloaded.

I dont have enough space to download two copies, only the initial
file that I want.

Ive tried numerous hacks to stop cacheing in NS47, but all fail to
work.

Ive added the "...disk.cache = false" to my prefs.js file, Ive set
my cache settings to, "...every visit to the page", set all cache
setting sizes to 0, you name it, nothing is working.

Is there no way to shut off cacheing entirely, or at least a fix
for me to get this file, and ONLY this file?

It would be one thing if I could obtain this file from say an
FTP site, I could use my FTP client, and have no cache file,
but the file is not accessable via FTP.

Or perhaps, is there a program that downloads from servers
but does not cache?

Any help is greatly appreciated.
