Persistent download for http-links

It would be nice if we could have a variable or setting to define a persistent place for files to be downloaded to when using a Link in movieFileInTOP, textDAT etc.
Right not it will be stored in a temp folder which I think we can change using the TEMP env-variable, but this will also be true for any other script using the temp folder which might not be desired.

Additionaly, it would be great if there is a simple “cache_file” method that allows us to pre-cache a file withhout having to use the operator itself. (I know that there is the downloader utility comp now but this still required additional setup.)
