You read the cache.
To full the function you could try to use it like that:
Function GetFileFromUrl
Lparameters lcRemoteFile, lcLocalFile
Declare Integer URLDownloadToFile In urlmon.Dll;
  INTEGER pCaller, String szURL, String szFileName,;
  INTEGER dwReserved, Integer lpfnCB
*** Let's try to full the function
  lcRemoteFile = lcRemoteFile + [?]+SYS(2015)
Return URLDownloadToFile (0, lcRemoteFile, Iif(Empty(lcLocalFile), JustFname(lcRemoteFile), lcLocalFile), 0, 0) = 0
That way the remote file will look like:
"http:\\www.somesite.com\thefile.exe?_CASASA"
and every time will be different. That way you will skip the local page cache.
