How to use cache to limit chocolatey source downloads
"One thing that you could do would be to cache the download that Chocolatey does, so that you don't have that time added to the overall build." - Can you cache the downloaded installers, and then simply do the install from there?
I am having issues with chocolatey downloading some sources that are failing randomly on builds.
The downloads end up in
C:\Users\appveyor\AppData\Local\Temp\chocolatey\*
the instruction appveyor is not instuction for cache is not covering my requirement here.
cache:
- C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\bin -> appveyor.yml
- C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\lib -> appveyor.yml
This Is NOT caching my dependent cinst.
- cinst winpcap
(This requires http://ahkscript.org/download/1.1/AutoHotkey112003_x64.zip' which is failing randomly)
Please help..

Adding choco appdata temp to the cache call seems to work..
cache:
- C:\Users\appveyor\AppData\Local\Temp\chocolatey
