Even using an ACL won't help. I found that some of my users went to
geocities.com in excess (or I wouldn't have noticed), and there was a
multitude of *.xls files, which were in essence password encrypted RAR
files containing MP3 payloads. The RAR coding w/ xls extension makes it
almost impossible for filters to recognize the MP3 payload, and many
firewalls might let it pass, too.

]and if it possible to view the the file being downloaded or cached,

client mgr:active_requests
