Have a look at my purge tool in non-destructive copy-out mode:

        http://www.cache.dfn.de/DFN-Cache/Development/Purge/

e.g. run it like

> mkdir /tmp/rescue
> purge -C /tmp/rescue -e '\.exe' -c /var/spool/cache

< /var/spool/cache/00/01/0000015F 0 285675

The result for the above example output line would be found in:

/tmp/rescue/support.microsoft.com/download/support/mslfiles/AMDK6UPD.EXE
