/var/tmp/kdecache-*/http fills up with everything on kde 4.4.3 slackware 13.1
 

Hi , On slackware 13.1 with kde 4.4.3 /var/tmp/kdecache-*/http/ fills up with the web cache , but this also includes every thing that you download which can be some very big files , how do you keep the web cache but stop kde putting downloads in the cache. Not had this problem before with previous slackwares. Thanks

open konqueror settings>configure konqueror>cache

Yeah , I know , but it's no good , there are no useful options , I dont want one big download to clear out my web cache , that is daft behavour. There is no point in caching downloads. By download I mean say eg linux.src.tar.bz2 , I'm sure this didn't happen in previous slackwares , Thanks , Jason

Where does Konqueror store its history, and how do I erase it?

There are several kinds of "history" stored by Konqueror.
The location bar combobox items and completion: you can clear those with right-click, "Clear History".
The history module in the sidebar: you can clear it with a right-click on one of the host names, and selecting "Clear History".
The HTTP cache (known as "Temporary Internet Files" in other environments) can be cleared in the KControl module called "Cache", using the "Clear cache" button on the bottom right.

File locations (~/.kde is only an indication. Your distributor, or $KDEHOME, could have modified that value) :
Combobox items: ~/.kde/share/config/konq_history
History module and combobox completion: ~/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/konq_history (binary file)
HTTP cache: ~/.kde/share/cache/http/ (previously in ~/.kde/share/apps/kio_http/cache/)
