Hello

I am a programmer and I need to test the downloading of a file from the web.

I have updated the file on the web server and download via a url. eg
www.myurl.com/myfile.exe

I updated the file today - a few hours ago but each time I download the file
I seem to only download the version from last week.

I have tried Delete Cookies, Delete Files... and Clear History but still
keep downloading old file. How do I clear out the old file?

Reload or Refresh -should- force a reread of the page. Perhaps you should
check to be sure the file went to the correct directory rather than
overwriting the original.
Somewhere in OPtions, you CAN tell it to not cache and read every page
every time. But make sure you prove that the file is where you code looks
for it first. Typos are easy to make.
Sorry, I won't visit short URLs.
