That goes fine usually with pages, and even with php files which
I can open as text in a new window, then use Shift reload or Ctrl-F5.
But clicking a zip file opens it for download, and no recurse to
refresh.

Yes, I see that. The file is there, so near, but so far...
I tried using opera now, with the same result: I get an old version
from last summer. This is so annoying.
I wonder how others fare.

I update a recipe, announce the update on the Cookbook page, or even
this list, and others going to download, then wonder why this thing
is behaving so badly, because they install an old version....

Is there no better way?
