    Description

      DWNL first downloads to Temporary Internet Files before writing to the real destination. It never cleans up these extra files.

      This is extra problematic if the TIF folder is on a different drive than the actual destination and the TIF drive is low on space. In this situation the destination file is silently truncated if you run out of disk space on the TIF drive during the download phase!

      DWNL uses URLDownloadToFile and it seems like this caches by default.

      Is URLDownloadToFile subject to local caching? hints to using the reserved parameter but unfortunately the full answer is locked behind ExpertS-exChange.com.
