Here's the patch until now. This avoids a growing instance dir
except for the case when the machine or browse crash.<br>
Its not the cache but the partial downloads that fill up the disk
(generally firefox saves these partial downloads in the filesystem
along with the download. Browse puts these in this temporary
directory before transferring them to the journal. <br>
<br>
I think its safe to assume if we are the only instance of Browse and
there are partial downloads in the instance dir, we should remove
them.<br>
I'm trying to figure out how to check for this condition.<br>

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

It seems to us the only way to bloat the
.sugar/default/org.laptop.WebActivity/instance
dir is by doing a large download and then
interrupting it (either because of network
problems or by canceling). This leaves partial
downloads in this dir and can fill the disk
pretty quickly on XO hardware.<br>
<br>
We have thought of a workaround policy as we
can't find an option in xulrunner to handle
this by removing these partial files:<br>
- on click of "cancel" in a download -
erase partial download<br>
- on start of new session of browse (if no
other instance is running)<br>
<br>
Is this an acceptable fix?<br>
Input welcome as we prepare the patch,<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Sebastian<br>

Why not have a button for clearing the cache regardless of the
circumstances by which it filled? As to where to put the
button...<br>
