It would be great if you could specify where all of the objects, models,
textures, etc. (the "cache" of the AW browser on your local computer)
would download to. Note this is different than the "local path" feature.

You could, in essence, specify the cache be downloaded to a network
drive and use AW on multiple computers without having to re-download
everything. Or you could use an external hard drive or portable USB
drive just for AW downloads.

Or, if you installed AW on one hard drive partition and don't have much
space left on it, you could change it so the cache would use another
partition with more free space.

The only problem with a network drive is that AW does *not* tolerate any kind of interruption to the drive; it's very easy to cause the browser to crash by running it from a network drive.

Even drives that don't use Windows file sharing/NetBEUI such as the
NetDisk by Ximeta (http://www.ximeta.com)? What about drives on a
Gigabit NIC? :)
