try the url "file:cacheindex.dgi" it is a nice feature to see what pages
are stored in the cache and where they came from. especially useful if
you want to find something you have visited earlier...

Hmm, i was thinking of that too. just to add a fileexistance test before
printing would be easy for someone that knows C.

That has to do with arachnes handling of cached items.
It would be possible to add <arachne nocache> but then it gets slow intead.
Well,
my wish for a solution to the caching problem is a "nocache" flag in mime.cfg
