where is the folder for "Cache downloaded files" option

[herotyc]

* Downloaded files can be cached in temporary internet files folder

Where is the cache folder?

Is it possible to manually specify a different folder (.ini file?)

And, do Store per-user configs/etc have any impact in the cache folder?

When enabled, the downloaded files will be stored in Window's Temporary Internet Files folder. You can get and browse (and customise) its location in the "Internet Options" control panel. I think it'll usually default to this:

    %LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache

XMPlay's "Store per-user configs/etc" setting doesn't affect it.

I cannot find the downloaded files there, weird isn't it?

Does it work when downloading any file or just for audio streams using certain protocols?

I'm downloading something like http://myserver.com/mymodule.it and I expected to see mymodule.it on that folder

It does seem that some file types aren't cached by Windows, but that seems to be streamable formats rather than MOD formats. IT files are getting cached here. For example, files from scene.org like this one:

    https://archive.scene.org/pub/mirrors/scenesp.org/modulez/Manwe/Manwe-Neon_City.it

If that is cached then perhaps the other server you tried is disabling caching, eg. via "Cache-Control" header?

no way, I am not able to see the file here: C:\Users\Usuario\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache

I tried your link...

The thing is that the cache is actually working, because when I reopen the song the song is not downloading again.

My cache folder

C:\Users\Test\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache\IE\EZOP5R5A

oh I see, I was missing the "\IE\" part, I can se the data now, spread over some alphanumeric folders.

Thank you.

It would be good if I could manually specify the cache folder in xmplay (i.e. I'd use another drive or disk), but that's just a nice to have.

Yeah, the cached files are actually in hidden subfolders, but File Explorer consolidates them so that you should see them all in the parent "INetCache" folder. It isn't currently possible to change the cache location in XMPlay because it's using a system cache, but you can change the system cache location in Windows' "Internet Options" control panel.
