I'm getting confused.
It seems that any files that are 'essential to the running of the
app' are placed in the bundle.
It also seems that any files that are 'essential to the running of the
app', if they are in the bundle, must not be modified.

I put some files into the app bundle which were essential for the app

Kyle, I've reread your post and now see your last sentence, where you
mention Library/Caches. I guess that could be an acceptable location
for the data I download from the internet. I still feel the data as
being more "persistent" than data associated with a 'cache' though.

Steve and Kyle, I may not understand the term "Application bundle"

As has been covered before, I believe
Apple's docs explicitly say that this folder should only contain files that
are *not* necessary for the app to function normally. Files that are
necessary should be inside your app bundle, usually.
