It deletes partial downloads when user clicks on cancel button or deletes journal download entry. This should already mitigate thie situation. Alas, the partial download still remains when there is a crash. I could remove partial downloads on start of activity, but i'm worried another instance of Browse might be open and downloading. How should I check for this condition?

This leaves partial downloads in this dir and can fill the disk pretty quickly on XO hardware. We have thought of a workaround policy as we can't find an option in xulrunner to handle this by removing these partial files: - on click of "cancel" in a download - erase partial download - on start of new session of browse (if no other instance is running) Is this an acceptable fix? Input welcome as we prepare the patch, Cheers, Sebastian </blockquote> </div></div></div> _______________________________________________ Sugar-devel mailing list <a href="mailto:Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org">Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org</a> <a href="http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel" target="_blank">http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel</a> </blockquote></div> Why not have a button for clearing the cache regardless of the circumstances by which it filled?
