caching downloads does not make sense. This is because the role of
download is to check permissions to download a file (if they are set).
if you cache it then you do not check. If you do not need to check do
not use download. Use
def mydownload():
return
response.stream(open(os.path.join(request.folder,'uploads',request.args(0)),'rb'))
or better use the web server to download the uploaded files.
